==Grading the Homework Assignments==
I have graded the homework assignments very loosely and without too much attention to detail, on a scale from 0 to 100.

* In [[06-1350/Homework Assignment 1|HW1]], each of the 4 questions was worth 25 points and the "hard and not mandatory" part of problem 1 was worth up to 20 "bonus" points.
* In [[06-1350/Homework Assignment 2|HW2]], the first two questions were worth 30 points each and the third was worth 40 points.
* In [[06-1350/Homework Assignment 3|HW3]] each part was worth approximately 20 points, but I graded the whole assignment as one unit without giving grades to the individual parts.
* For [[06-1350/Homework Assignment 4|HW4]] the scale was:
{| align=center border=1
|- align=center
!Grade
!Meaning
|- align=center
|100
|align=left|significant mathematical contribution
|- align=center
|95
|align=left|some mathematical contribution
|- align=center
|90
|align=left|cosmetic contribution
|- align=center
|85
|align=left|assignment submitted
|}

==Grading the Final==
I have used the following key in grading the final exam:

{| align=center border=1
|- align=center
!Question Grade
!Total Grade
!Meaning
|- align=center
|34
|102
|align=left|Your essay(s) is/are worthy of publication (very rare)
|- align=center
|32
|96
|align=left|Your essay(s) is/are worthy of weblication (rare)
|- align=center
|30
|90
|align=left|Your essay(s) indicated solid understanding of the material, but there is no reason for anyone other than you and me to read them (most common)
|- align=center
|28
|84
|align=left|Your essay(s) indicated some understanding of the material, but also some gaps
|- align=center
|26
|78
|align=left|You've studied for the exam and thought about the material, but not enough
|}

==Good Deeds==

The good deeds were public and so are the points awarded to them. (Note that work internal to [[06-1350/Homework Assignment 4|HW4]] is given credit under homework, not here).
