Final Exam Grading
As with the other exams, in grading the final exam we will be focusing on your level of understanding of the material associated with each problem. When we grade each part of a problem we will do our best to assess, from your work, your level of understanding. On each part of an exam question we will also indicate the percentage of the total exam grade represented by that part, and your numerical score on the exam will then be calculated accordingly.
Our assessment of your level of understanding will be based upon what is given in your solution. A correct final answer with no explanation will not receive full credit, and may even receive no credit at all. An incorrect final answer having a solution and explanation that shows excellent understanding quite likely will receive full (or close to full) credit.


Graded Exams and Final Course Grade:
Graded exams and the final course grade can be picked up after Monday, May 24th, between noon and 3pm. If you would like your graded exam mailed to you, please leave an addressed, stamped envelope with us at the end of the exam. We’ll use the envelope as is, so please be sure to address it properly and with enough postage. Also, we’ll guarantee that we’ll put it into the proper mailbox but won’t guarantee anything beyond that. Please look over the grading of the exam before leaving. We will not consider any regrading of the exam once you take it away.
