    Final exam results. 111 students took the final. The average was a 70, and the median was 75



    Final grades are in! Of the 111 people who took the final, I assigned 31 As, 35 Bs, 22 Cs, 18 Ds and 5Fs. The cutoffs were 89.0% for an A, 77.5% for a B, 63.5% for a C, and 50% for a D. Overall, this is more As and Bs than I usually give, but the cutoffs are higher than usual. The class generally performed very well (hence the high grades), albeit with exams that are easier than I usually give (hence the high cutoffs).
