Notes:
- There were 77 students in the class, plus 3 no-shows. The latter 3
were not included in the average.
- The HW3 statistics above include the
5-point scaling I previously mentioned: that is, anyone who did HW3 got 5
points added to their HW3 grade automatically.
- After some statistical
crunching, I found that the final exams of the first and second groups were
approximately 2 points apart; therefore, if you took the second (i.e., on the
16th) final, you got two "free" points for calibration purposes; they are included in the above numbers. (The
individual averages were not the same, but neither were the averages of
students taking each exam, so they're not particularly useful.)
- The
bonus was added after the grade letter cutoffs were assigned.

If you're curious how I computed your grade, parse this Java function using your Courseworks numbers:
int computeTotalPoints() {
int result = HW1+HW2+HW3+Midterm+HW4+HW5+HW6+Final;
if(HW3 > 0) result += 5;
if(FinalDate == 16) result += 2;
result += MidtermBonus+HW4Bonus+HW5Bonus+
HW6Bonus+FinalBonus;
return result;
}
