ICS 142 Winter 2004
Final Course Grades


Explanation (please read this first!)

Please spend a couple of minutes reading this section. It will answer the vast majority of the questions that you may have about the grading process, and will save me a lot of time answering emails, and save you a lot of upset waiting for a response.

Here are the final grades for ICS 142. By University regulations, at this stage, the cutpoints and the grades are non-negotiable, unless we made a clerical error, such as recording a score incorrectly. (Seriously! This means you! Every quarter, I get at least two emails that begin with the phrase "I know you said that the cutpoints are non-negotiable, but...")

There were 59 points possible on the Final, and the average score was 41.4 (70.2%).

The IDSuffix column contains the last four digits of your UCI ID# or Access ID#.

The Proj1..Proj6 columns are your raw scores (out of 100) on each project. The ProjTotal column lists the sum of the raw scores on the projects. The total number of points possible on all the projects was 600. There is also a column titled AdjProjTotal; this contains your total project score after adjusting it for the differences between graders. Those differences were removed by attempting to equalize the percentage of points lost.

The TotalPct column is your overall percentage in the class, figured by adding the weighted percentages of the Midterm, Final, and AdjProjTotal together, as described in the Course Reference.

There are a few words to be said about the selection of cutpoints. People are cutpoints; whole-numbered percentages are not. That means that the cutpoint for a particular grade is simply the lowest-scoring person who received that grade. For the sake of argument, if you received a percentage of 54.99% in the class, and someone who received a 55.52% received a higher grade than you (with no person in between), you didn't miss the cutpoint by 0.01%; you missed it by 0.53% -- a substantial margin.

It was a challenging and educational quarter, but I hope ya'all had as much fun as I did. Enjoy the break!
