Psy 221A: Final Course Grades

Prof. Allen McConnell • Spring 2011

Below are the final grades, listed by the last five digits of your Banner ID (all students who initially enrolled in the class are listed, although some have dropped). The average grade on the Final Exam (green column) was a 263/350 (75%) and there was 1 perfect final exam (congratulations!). Your final course grades are presented (in yellow), with your letter assigned based on the scale presented in the syllabus. The total adjusted points reflects the replacement of your lowest Exam 1-3 grade with the average of your lowest and highest Exam 1-3 grades. Overall in the course, there were 16 As, 35 Bs, 38 Cs, 20 Ds, and 5 Fs (the average was 857 points, or a 78%). When looking at the grades, I also examined the number of times students consulted with Tonya about their exams. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 25 students who got Ds or Fs ever went over their exams. I understand that some people did visit with her (and me) and made a real effort to find out how they could improve, but the majority of students in these shoes did not.

At any rate, these are the final grades. If there is a mathematical error, please bring it to my attention. However, I do not "change grades" ever (never done it once in 16 years), so please do not attempt to plea or barter for a better grade just because you are unhappy with yours.

Thanks for an excellent semester. With over 50 students getting As and Bs, most students did quite well. Moreover, I think this Psy 221 class was the most active in terms of asking great questions of any lecture class I've ever had -- so thanks for making it such a great semester!
