Final exam breakdown

Individual final exam scores will be on Moodle imminently. Must make one more check of grading ...

Final course grades will be posted sometime tomorrow afternoon. I need to do a thorough review of everything before I'm willing to posit final final grades, and carefully audit everything. You can calculate from Moodle what you should receive, and there is a 99% chance you will be correct. Keep in mind Moodle does not include random bonus points I have given over the semester, for instance, and for this and other reasons the Moodle grades are not 'official.'

Incidentally, the overall course grade is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. Mostly when you are on the narrow borderline between grades ... there are often some very tough calls to make.

Let it suffice to say that I usually err on your side if there is a chance for ambiguity, but it is rarely (rarely) necessary. Strictly by the numbers in the end.
