Grading Update 6: The course grades, along with coursework average and homework grades, have been added to the grades page. The letter grades won't appear in Workday until Monday. I'd like to thank everyone for their effort in EE 4720! Good luck on your other courses and have a good summer!

Grading Update 4: Final Exam Grades Ready. The range was [98,14] with two students scoring 98 and two others in the 90s. These good grades lifted the average, 52.1, above the median, 49.5. Of course, everyone wants to see the aliases, and most their own final exam grade. To do so click here. Course averages and letter grades will be available later this afternoon or tomorrow, depending on whether I need to consult the pillow. Those who don't like waiting can take solace in the fact that I become more lenient the longer I think about grade cutoffs. The next grading update should be posted by about 18:00 tonight (whether or not any new grades are available) and if necessary tomorrow by 18:00 or earlier.
