Clarification about final grades: You may have noticed that Moodle lists a percentage along with your letter grade. Please be aware that this percentage is not your correct overall weighted score for the term, but a meaningless value generated by Moodle. It is not the score that determined your letter grade. If you want to confirm the correctness of your letter grade, just take the weighted sum of your individual scores (properly scaled to 100 points each), using the weights listed on the class website, and then translate that score to a letter grade using the breakpoints posted on the class website.
Statistics for final exam and breakpoints for letter grades have been posted on Exams page.
Final exam scores have been posted on Moodle.
