Grading Update 7: Course average (including homework) available on the grades page. I haven't decided the cutoff for the letter grades yet but I have decided to replace the midterm exam grade with the final exam grade if the final exam grade is higher. Due to the big difference in averages, I've added 13 points to the final exam grade before doing that.

Also linked the final exam solution to the Homework & Exams page.
