- The course is over! Grades are on
websys.
We gave 30/85 = 35% A grades, and 46/85 = 54% B grades. The 89% A/B grades is a much more generous percentage than in many past terms (typically a little over 70%), but this term was unusual for the large number of students dropping the course -- from an initial enrollment of 110 down to 85.
- Final Exam, solutions, and grade histograms
- Course handouts archive: problem sets (with solns), class problems (with sols), lecture slides, and notes
- Solutions to Class Problems, PSets, etc. are posted in
