News (Most recent at top. Obsolete things may get removed.)

* 5/18 Want to know how your final grade was calculated?
       All the data and the program that calculated your grade are here.
* 5/9 Final exam solutions. Also on the course exams page.
* 5/9 If you left the final before the mu announcement, or even if you
      did not, you will get at least substantial-to-full credit if you did a
      non-trivial problem based on assumptions you stated that did not contradict
      the information given.
* 5/9 The "attendence" data posted on the blackboard site is based on which
      days your clicker responded.   We might look at it if specific issues 
      arrise that we want to discuss. We are keeping it as a curiosity item.  
      So we posted it for your curiosity also. The only data we have is if you 
      clicked at least once in a class.  Of course it would be interesting to 
      see how success at in-class questions would correlate with exam 
      performance, but we don't have that data.  The  clicker data that we 
      do have is not part of your grade.  Even though it is not part of your 
      grade, we would like to know if you think the data is incorrect.
