ICS 184 / EECS 116 Summer 2006
Final Course Grades


Explanation (please read this first!)

Please spend a couple of minutes reading this section. It will answer the majority of the questions that you may have about the grading process, and will save me a lot of time answering emails, and, most importantly, save you a lot of upset waiting for a response.

Here are the final grades for ICS 184 and EECS 116. By University regulations, at this stage, the cutpoints and the grades are non-negotiable, unless we made a clerical error, such as recording a score incorrectly. (Seriously! This means you! Every quarter, I get at least one email that begin with the phrase "I know you said that the cutpoints are non-negotiable, but...") We also will no longer accept new regrade requests on the assignments.

There were 80 points possible on the Final, and the average score was 59.17 (73.96%).

The IDSuffix column contains the last four digits of your UCI ID# or Access ID#. The A1..A6 columns are your raw scores (out of 100) on each assignment. The TotalPct column is your overall percentage in the class, figured by adding the weighted percentages of the Midterm, Final, and assignment scores together, using the updated formula we decided on after Assignment #6 was dropped as an official requirement due to scheduling constraints:

The grades were initially calculated before factoring in the scores on the extra credit assignment. Then I plugged in the extra credit scores and raised several people's grades as a result.

There are a few words to be said about the selection of cutpoints. People are cutpoints; whole-numbered percentages are not. That means that the cutpoint for a particular grade is simply the lowest-scoring person who received that grade. For the sake of argument, if you received a percentage of 54.99% in the class, and someone who received a 55.52% received a higher grade than you (with no person in between), you didn't miss the cutpoint by 0.01%; you missed it by 0.53% — a substantial margin.

It was a great quarter. Best of luck to all of you going forward.
