The scores are a little misleading, because just about everyone got full credit for the last 3 questions.

The key is at pub:final-key.pdf

The scoring system is very straightforward:

• =90 A

• =85 AB

• =80 B

• =75 BC

• =60 C

• =57 CD

• =45 D

No one missed a cutoff by only 1 point.

1 person did get 100/100. I will congratulate them, but they might be too modest to have me broadcast it.

The mean was 79, and the median was 85. The median grade was an AB. The mean is pulled down by a few outliers. A third of the class got As.

In case you’re wondering, 30 people finished the class for a grade. The median grade was an AB. The mean was a little over a B (3.18). We agonized over the boundary cases.
