Notes about the Final Exam

I am pleased with your performance on the final exam. The median score on the final exam was 130/200, which is good. Several students actually raised their final letter grade with an outstanding performance on this exam. Congradulations!

I graded the exam like all the others. Lots of points for partial credit. I have also chosen the same curve as the last two exams: 85% for an A, 70% for a B, 55% for a C, and only 40% for a D. I think this curve represents the degree of difficulty of the exam.
