Final grades are in! They were submitted electronically to the registrar on Monday, December 16. Starting on Tuesday, December 17, grades should be accessible to students on line at http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/grades using the upper
left link "view grades online". Another way to get your grade is by calling 475-9950 with option number 51.For each student, we added up the scores for the first midterm, second midterm, quiz average, final exam, and final exam (the final counts double), and subtracted out the lowest score. The result was your term total, with 400 point being a "perfect" score. The cutoff for an A was 340 points (85%), the cutoff for a B was 293 (73.25%), the cutoff for a C was 243 (60.75%), and the cutoff for a D was 190 (47.5%).
Of the 127 people who started the course, 18 received As, 31 received Bs, 32 received Cs, 13 received Ds (one of which was recorded as a CR), 15 received Fs (of whom only 7 actually took the final), and 18 took Q-drops.
To ensure privacy, I will not be posting grades outside my office after all. However, you are welcome to come by and ask me about your grade in person or by email. I will be in most of the day, every day throughout winter break, with the exception of the week of December 23-27.
