Grades are published
Hi all,
We submitted grades today, so you probably can see them in the system.
It was perhaps the noise or the heat, but in order to boost your grades to a level we felt comfortable with, we had to tweak the calculation a bit.
Here's the elementary formula we used:1
- Exam grade - $E$, which you can get from summing individual question points, multiplying each of the best four by 2.25;
- Homework grade - $H$, which you can find in the grades file on the exercises page;
- Combined grade - $C = \max(E, 0.9 \cdot E + 0.1 \cdot H)$;
- Post-factor grade - $P = 0.37 \cdot C + 0.63 \cdot 10\sqrt{C}$;
- Final grade - $F = \begin{cases} 60 &\mbox{if } 54\le P\le 60,\\\lfloor P+0.5\rfloor & \mbox{otherwise.}\end{cases}$
