15.438 Information on Final Exam
Thanks again for a wonderful semester.
A few pieces of information on the final exam:
1. The answers are posted under "General Information" on Stellar
2. My assistant Donna Cheung has the exams. If you'd like to pick up a copy of your exam (we need to keep the originals), you can get it from her at E62-611.
3. If you want to appeal the grade, the rules are the same as for the midterm: (i) explain what you think the error is in writing; (ii) return the exam and note to Donna Cheung; and (iii) we reserve the right to regrade the entire exam, so the grade could go down as well as up.
4. The stats are:
| Summary Stats | |
| Lowest Grade | 25 |
| Median Grade | 52 |
| Mean Grade | 49 |
| Highest Grade | 70 |
| Total Possible Points | 70 |
Have a wonderful summer!
Regards,
Debbie

Location of final exam E51-145 and E51-149
The registrar has reserved three rooms for our final exam tomorrow: E51-145, E51-149 and E51-151. It looks like the capacity of rooms 145 and 149 will be sufficient to hold everyone and for people to spread out, so please plan to sit in one of those two rooms.
Regards,
Debbie
