Final grades are now available on compass. Excluding people with incompletes, late drops, and the like, we gave out

• A's: 16 (2 A+, 7 A, 7 A-)
• B's: 24 (6 B+, 9 B, 9 B-)
• C's: 22 (7 C+, 8 C, 7 C-)
• D's: 16 (3 D+, 5 D, 6 D-)
• F's: 2
• total: 78

We looked at individual cases near all the breakpoints. So the numerical cutoff values aren't especially informative.

Have a great summer,

You can bring a cheat sheet to the exam. It must be:

1. Handwritten by yourself.
2. Not printed or photocopied - in should be in the original.
3. Paper size: A4, and you can write on both sides.
4. The text should be readable without using an electronic microscope, the Hubble telescope or a magnifying glass.
5. The cheat sheet has to be submitted with the exam.

The main purpose of having a cheat sheet is a way for you to prepare for the exam better. Dont spend too much energy on writing it...
