5/7 FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:The final exam scores and the letter grades have been entered in the database and reported to the University. The grades are final and cannot be changed. Only a small portion of the class received A's or A-'s. The average of the final exam was about 74/110 and the maximum was 108/110. We hope you all have had a great semester in which we believe you have learned a lot of new things. We will start to be out of town as early as this weekend. If you wish to take a look at your final exam sheets along with the solution sheet, you can do so early next semester by scheduling an appt with Dhiraj. The exam sheets will be recycled after mid- Fall semester.
We both enjoyed this semester with all of you. This is the best class Dr. Wang has taught in 4 years with Penn State. Have a great summer!
- James Wang and Dhiraj Joshi

These scores are final and will not be changed. Also the scores are confidential. Please do not share them with others.
