Here is the distribution of combined midterm scores, counting all ten problems. Again, letter-grade cutoffs were computed after excluding outliers above 95% and below 25%. Please remember that these are still very crude estimates of your overall course grades, based on only 40% of your graded work. Past experience suggests that most students’ final course grade will be within one letter grade of this estimate, but larger differences (in both directions) are still fairly common.

Finally, here is a scatter plot showing the surprisingly weak correllation between Midterm 1 and Midterm 2 scores. For both exams, scores have been normalized to the number of standard deviations above or below the mean, or equivalently, the number of letter grades above or below the B–/C+ boundary. (I recomputed the letter-grade cutoffs after excluding outliers in the sum-of-midterms distribution.) Notice that several students’ midterm scores differ by more than two full letter grades, in both directions.
Here are some preliminary statitics; we will post a more detailed score distribution later.
Problem | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | sum | |

Mean | 7.59 | 3.88 | 5.26 | 3.83 | 7.08 | 27.64 | |

Here is the distribution of scores from Midterm 1, excluding question 2. The letter-grade cutoffs were computed after excluding outliers above 95% and below 25%. However, letter grades for those outliers were computed using the resulting curve.
More than half the class scored a zero on problem 2, which means it was a bad exam question. To compensate for our blunder, we plan to compute letter grades at the end of the semester roughly as follows. First we will compute everyone's letter grade normally, including all exam problems. Then we will compute everyone's letter grade again from scratch as though problem 2 did not exist, using a completely independent curve. (We reserve the right to modify the alternate grading algorithm.) Finally, each student will receive the higher of the two resulting letter grades.
For most students, excluding problem 2 gives a higher grade, which is why we've excluded problem 2 from the scores below.
Please keep in mind that these letter grades are extremely rough predictions of your final course grade, based on only 20% of your overall coursework. Past experience suggests that most students‘ final course grades will be within one letter grade of these estimates, but differences of up to a full letter grade (in either direction) are fairly common, and differences of up to two letter grades (in either direction) are still possible. In particular, if you got a high score on problem 2, your estimate could as much as a full letter grade low.

We noticed several Homework 1 submissions where the person who submitted the homework did not also submit their other group members’ names. If you did not submit your group’s homework, please double-check that you actually received a grade, and if you didn’t ask the person who submitted the homework to updat the group list. (Yes, you can still do this now.) It is your responsibility to make sure the person who submits your group’s homework also submits your name. We cannot give you credit if your name is not attached to your work.
Some of those overrides will be offered immediately, but most will have to wait until more students drop the class. But because less than 390 students submitted HW2, we are confident that everyone on the waiting list will eventually get in. (The self-imposed September 19 deadline will not be enforced.)
A few students on the waiting list did not submit HW1 and/or HW2; those students were removed from the waiting list.
If you believe you are still on the waiting list and you do not receive email from Jeff today, please let us know as soon as possible!
*No, not really. It was actually aliens.
You are responsible for forming your own homework groups; we recommend using Piazza to search for teammates. Although we don't recommend it, you can submit with a different group for each homework, or even for each numbered homework problem.
Submission mechanics: For each problem, one person in each group submits the solution PDF file to Gradescope and tells Gradescope who else is in their group. In addition, the beginning of each homework submission should clearly state the Gradescope name and email address of each group member.
Also, if you are not using your real name and illinois.edu email address on Gradescope, do not include your real name and NetID in your homework submissions—use your gradescope name and email instead. Never ever ever give your UIN to Gradescope. Ever.
To give you credit for the homework, we need to know who Gradescope thinks you are. There will be a web form to tell us your Gradescope identity soon; watch this space.

Si maintenant vous me donnez une équation que vous aurez choisie à votre gré, et que vous desirez connaître si elle est ou non soluble par radicaux, je n’aurai rien à y faire que de vous indiquer le moyen de répondre à votre question, sans vouloir charger ni moi ni personne de la faire. En un mot les calculs sont impracticables. |

For every polynomial-time algorithm you have, there is an exponential algorithm that I would rather run. |

Algorithms are for people who don't know how to buy RAM. |
