Grading the Final
I have used the following key in grading the final exam:
Question Grade | Total Grade | Meaning |
---|---|---|
34 | 102 | Your essay(s) is/are worthy of publication (very rare) |
32 | 96 | Your essay(s) is/are worthy of weblication (rare) |
30 | 90 | 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) |
28 | 84 | Your essay(s) indicated some understanding of the material, but also some gaps |
26 | 78 | You've studied for the exam and thought about the material, but not enough |
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 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 HW2, the first two questions were worth 30 points each and the third was worth 40 points.
- In HW3 each part was worth approximately 20 points, but I graded the whole assignment as one unit without giving grades to the individual parts.
