[944] Final scores

[Gautam Iyer]

Dear All,

To clarify a few things about your grade:

    1. Homework: 70% was a B-. The way I converted the homework to a
       grade, not a single student got an exam average that was higher
       than the homework average. This means all of your grades are
       simply your exam average.

    2. I'd like to clarify that the thresholds I gave you for exams are
       cutoffs. For example, 36 on the final was an A-, which I
       converted to 3.67. This was the bottom border of an A-. A 35 on
       the final was a B+.

       Practically, this means that when you plug in the grade numbers
       into the formula for your final grade, 3.67 and higher will be
       converted to an A-, and anything lower will become a B+.

    3. I am walking to Tepper now to drop off your exams, so you should
       have it in 15 mins (Pgh).
