About Cuc's notes -- Cuc was an undergraduate who took the class in 2003, and assisted in 2004. Above you can find her notes from lecture. Many of you will find them helpful, but you should not assume they are perfect or complete. Use them as you would notes belonging to a study partner -- to find discrepancies and help you study. If you find what you think is an error, bring them by office hours and we can go over it together.

Distributions of exam scores are given below. These are provided simply to give you a sense of what grade distributions are typically like. ACTUAL SCORES FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WILL BE POSTED USING WEB-CT.

Note we are NOT ASSIGNING GRADES based any one exam alone. Your end grade will be based on the scores summed over each of the four exams (200 points each, including a non-cumulative final), and how this total compares to the totals earned by your classmates.

IF YOUR SCORE IS MISSING FROM WEB-CT, you may have made an error filling out your scantron. You will need to contact Tim to get your score.
