Explanation (please read this first!)

Please spend a couple of minutes reading this section. It will answer many of the questions that you may have about the grading process, and will save you a lot of upset waiting for a response to an email question.

Here are the final grades for ICS 21 and CSE 21. 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 a phrase like "I know you said that the cutpoints are non-negotiable, but...")

There were 25 points possible on the Final. The average score on the Final was 14.49 (57.69%), with a high score of 23.

Here is an explanation of the various columns:

• The IDSuffix column contains the last four digits of your UCI ID# or Access ID#.
• The LabExamX columns indicate your score on each lab exam; also listed, parenthetically, is the number of attempts you made at taking it. (Note that the number of attempts does not factor into your grade; it was fine to take the lab exams as many times as you wanted to.)
• The LabExamsPassed column indicates how many lab exams you passed out of the four that were given.
• The Midterm and Final columns contain your raw scores on the Midterm and Final Exam.
• The PairEvalX columns indicate your score on each of the pair evaluation surveys. Completing each survey was worth 0.5 points; completing it insightfully was worth 1 point. Of course, not completing it at all was worth 0 points.
• The PairAdj column is a modified on your overall grade derived from the results of partner evaluations. In general, results on partner evaluations were overwhelmingly positive and there was no one who was a consistently poor partner, so everyone got a score of 0 in this column, which means that you did an excellent job as partners; we thank you for that.
• The TotalPct column is your overall percentage in the class, figured by adding the weighted percentages of the Midterm, Final, PairEvalX, and PairAdj columns together, as described in the Course Reference.
• The LabExamGrade column lists your lab exam grade, as described in the Course Reference.
• The ProvGrade column lists your provisional grade, as described in the Course Reference.
• The Grade column lists your overall course grade, which is derived by combining your lab exam grade and your provisional grade as described in the Course Reference.

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.

I enjoyed working with you this quarter. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
