Folks:

 The grades have been submitted, and I assume several of you already know yours.

Judging from a sampling of mails prior to the grades, it is possible that several of you
received better grades than you suspected. This is all part of a carefully cultivated delusion
on my part that this  class is somehow harder than your other classes and should have
more christmasey grades.. :-> 

If you did get a grade better than you suspected, just remember the climactic scene from Saving Private Ryan
and just     "... earn it" (which could, for example, involve listening to the final exam answers audio so you don't
carry misunderstandings forward).

 I also wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank Garrett--your long suffering TA. He had to grade
three projects, four long homeworks and see a demo, and voluntarily held additional office hours over weekends
to help you with your projects.

 I wish you all great holidays and hope  our paths will cross again in future (and that we won't glare at each other, if they do ;-)

 I myself am off to Hawaii where I expect to catch golf balls for my buddy Barack.

cheers

Final exam answers

As you wait to see your grades, I thought this is pretty much the last chance I have to get you to hear the answers for the final exam

Here it is in audio form (imagine--you can put it on your ipod and hear it instead of those cloying christmas songs...), and just 31min long.

Seriously, if you got a low score on the final, then you probably want to listen to this so you won't carry the misunderstandings with you.

Cumulatives with late penalties and participation

Folks:

 There were a bunch of cases of late submissions for which we had forgotten to include the late submission penalty. The version below includes that. Also, the total+P column is total that includes participation credit.

Project 3

If anyone wants to stop by to pickup project 3, I am here in the lab now (557AD).

Final Cumulatives (sans extra credit)--

Folks:

 Here are the final "real" cumulatives (with the final exam marks thrown in). These are computed
with 40% for projects, 20% for homeworks and 40% for exams. [The participation credit is a subjective credit
given out of 5 points. It is not currently added into the cumulatives]

*****I am willing to hear from the students at the top of each list (598 and 471) as to what should be the grade cutoffs
for the rest of the class (these two students are guaranteed an A at least).**** (Those two can send me email with their suggestions)

cheers
