[944] Final grades

[Gautam Iyer]

Hi All,

Your final is graded and the overall performance was very good.
Pittsburgh students, you should be be able to access your letter grade
on the registrar's website (not Canvas). NY students -- I'd like to
thank everyone who filled out FCEs. I value your feedback.
Unfortunately, however, since this was significantly lower than the 80%
participation rate I requested, I will release your grades at the very
end of the grading period. I will, however, email anyone who is eligible
to take the makeup final (Pittsburgh and NY alike) with more information
by the end of today.

Your final and solutions are online now. Your score on the final will be
on canvas shortly  for Pittsburgh students, and at the end of the
grading period for NY students.

Approximate grading scale on the final:

    60/80: Approximately bottom end of A-
    40/80: Approximately bottom end of B-
    30/80: Approximately bottom end of C-
    20/80: Approximately bottom end of D (passing)

VIEWING YOUR FINALS:

Pittsburgh students: They will be with David in his office. He will
announce viewing hours when he returns from Spring break. NY students,
it will be in Diffy's office (after the end of the grading period). You
may view them in the respective office, or scan them on your phone.
However, following MSCF policy, if you take them out of the office you
may not request regrading of any problems.

REGRADING POLICY:

If you believe a particular question has been graded incorrectly, then
you must do so in writing by email, or by leaving a post-it note on the
front of the exam indicating which question you want re-graded. Please
do NOT include any explanation or message. Your grade will be solely
based on our interpretation of what is written on the exam, and not on
any explanation you provide outside the exam.

We will cover up the original grade, and independently regrade the
requested question. The new grade will replace your old grade, EVEN IF
IT IS LOWER. I strongly recommend you read and understand the solutions
posted online before requesting a regrade, because your grade could
become lower.

Overall, I hope you enjoyed this Mini as much as I enjoyed interacting
with you, and I wish you success in your future careers. Of course, this
isn't entirely a selfless wish -- since one of you will almost certainly
be working for a back that manages my retirement someday... :)

Best,

Gautam
