Grading

You should have received grades in the mail.

Here's my grading rubric for class participation. Let me know if you think I've failed to put you in the correct category. ("attended most classes" = "missed no more than three")

95-100: Attended most classes, volunteered excellent answers. questions.
90: Attended most classes, answered when called upon, volunteered the occasional answer
80: Attended many but not most classes, answered when called upon, volunteered the occasional answer
75: Attended many but not most classes, never volunteered

The Final

As you know, our final is in class on Wednesday, 16 May 2007.

Closed book; closed computer; closed colleague; mostly-closed notes.
You may bring one page of hand-written notes to the exam.

Four problems.

All four mostly correct: A
Three mostly correct: B
Two mostly correct: C
One mostly correct: D
Showed up and tried: F

I will show last year's final in class, but since I may copy problems for this year's final, I will not make it available to you.

Preparing for the Final

How should you study for this final?

Go through each lab and exam and make sure that you can answer the questions.

See if you can rederive the procedures presented in each session.

Make notes on key ideas.

Write a few questions of your own and make sure that you can answer them.

Summarize your ideas on a review sheet.
