Final grades

My flight leaves in <8hrs, so I'll be brief ...

  • MasteringPhysics grades should be up to date. Check your lab scores carefully.
  • Each HW is calculated as a percentage (they don't all have the same number of points), and the lowest two dropped. The rest are averaged. If you just added up total points, you may have gotten a different result.
  • I scaled exam 3 to have an average of 80% instead of 73%, so you all gained some points.
  • Final grades are on myBama now. Some of you got the benefit of the doubt with regard to +/- grades if you were on the borderline ...
  • I'm happy to answer any questions you have about grading, just send me an email.
  • I'm back in town on 8 July if you want to see / go over your test.
  • If you're continuing on with PH102, I will have a sub (the guy teaching the 2nd section) covering the first two classes next week. Check out ph102.blospot.com for course info, notes, and the calendar. We'll use MasteringPhysics again, course id LECLAIRPH102.

Don't hesitate to email me if you have some questions ... I didn't intend to post final grades and run, but it sort of worked out that way! I will have email access while away though.
