ICS 21 / CSE 21 Summer 2012
Final Course Grades


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 a question asked via email.

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! Despite this warning, I often get at least one email that begin with a phrase like "I know you said that the cutpoints are non-negotiable, but..." There is no "but" here.)

There were 25 points possible on the Final. The average score on the Final was 13.12 (52.48%), with a high score of 20.

How do I know which scores are mine?

Each student is identified here by a Rank, beginning with the highest overall percentage and ending with the lowest. In the event of a tie, ranks were assigned randomly, as their only purpose here is to provide a unique identifier. Each of you should have received an email from me (at your @uci.edu email address) identifying your rank.

What do the columns mean?

Here is an explanation of the various columns:

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!
