	To me this means that there is a large group of students who are on top of things, and for whom that was an easy exam. Yet there is also a smaller group of students (say, those with grades near 50 or below) who either did not study or do not have the required background. These students should feel very alarmed. If you are one of them and you do not have a truly realistic plan to turn things around (it is not too late), you should quit this class by the faculty deadline of November 3rd, before it becomes an unnecessary dark spot on your transcript.

			Note that problems with writing are problems, period. Perhaps you got a low grade but you feel you know the material enough for a high grade only you didn't write everything you know or you didn't it write well enough or the silly graders simply didn't get what you wrote (and it isn't a simple misunderstanding - see "appeals" below). If this describes you, don't underestimate your problem. If you don't process and resolve it, it is likely to recur.

			====Appeals====
			Remember! Grading is a difficult process and mistakes '''always''' happen - solutions get misread, parts are forgotten, grades are not added up correctly. You '''must''' read your exam and make sure that you understand how it was graded. If you disagree with anything, don't hesitate to complain! Your first stop should be the person who graded the problem in question, and only if you can't agree with him you should appeal to {{Dror}}.

			Problems 3 and 4 were graded by {{Dror}}. All other problems were graded by David Reiss.

			The deadline to start the appeal process is Thursday November 11 at 4PM.
