Oral Exam Requests. Out of 157 students who filled in something we could interpret as a grade for the Oral Exam Request on the last page, there were 40 who filled in the exact grade they received in the course, 109 who filled in a lower grade than they received (of whom 50 received at least a full letter grade higher than the minimum grade entered), and 8 who filled in a higher grade than the grade we determined was appropriate (and have the opportunity to improve their grade by doing an oral exam).

We realize that this was not quite a “tell us the grade you think you deserve” question since some people may find having to do an oral exam a non-neutral experience, but we these results do give us some confidence that most students will consider their course grade fair.

Office Hours Tuesday. If you would like to retrieve your exam, or have anything else you’d like to discuss, we will have our normal office hours on Tuesday (Dave, 9-11am in Rice 507; Nathan, 4-6pm in Rice 209).
