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 Informatics 102. 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...") We also can no longer accept new regrade requests on the assignments.

There were 78 points possible on the Final Exam. The average score on the Final Exam was 58.16 (74.57%), with a high score of 77.

Here is an explanation of the various columns in the table below:

• The IDSuffix column contains the last four digits of your UCI ID# or Access ID#.
• The A1..A5 columns are your scores (out of 100) on each assignment.
• The Final column contains your raw score (out of 78) on the Final Exam.
• The TotalPct column is your overall percentage in the class, figured by adding the weighted percentages of the assignment scores, the Midterm, and the Final together, 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.

It was a pleasure to spend the quarter with you. I hope we'll cross paths again sometime. Enjoy your spring break!
