Final exams have been graded, and your score, as well as your final course grade, are now in the usual spot on our website. A quick comment about the final - please read this first!

The average on the final exam was 56%. That's the lowest average on any exam I've ever given! But, don't panic - I really don't believe that it's a reflection of poor performance on the classes part, at all. On the contrary, I think your class is as good as any upper division group I've ever had! The final was, simply, a particularly hard test!

I ended up discarding two parts - the last lettered part of problems 4 and 5 only saw one ATTEMPT, total, so I simply threw them out. Makes no difference to the distribution, just makes the score a *little* more representative. (The one person who tried it did fine, and got credit, but for everyone else I just tossed them)

So, try to "renormalize" your score with the class average in mind. The distribution of individuals on the final was very consistent with the distribution of total course grades, so the final didn't have much of any grade impact (either way) for more than a couple of people.

Solutions will be posted by my office, and if you want to get your final back, just ask. (Might be easiest to stop by next semester, I'll be down at the NPL most of the summer) Let me know if you have any questions, SJP.
