After the final exam was graded I processed all the course grades as described in the syllabus. They are now posted. Here are the adjustments I made – all in your favor:
- Attendance was adjusted to allow two misses without penalty
- Discussion scores were adjusted so that the lowest score was dropped
- Lab scores were adjusted so that the lowest score was dropped
- Scores were rounded when determining the letter grade
Overall the class did very well.
Notes on reading your “Most” & “Least successful” answers
- Most of you found much to like in the course, though the specifics varied. Some liked the labs, some the reading/discussion. And almost everyone liked the field trips, especially the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge Trip.
- Some of you, especially environmental engineers, felt that the environmental portion of the course was too separate from the rest.
- Some didn’t like the discussions, though others found them most helpful.
- One person was strong in their criticism of Access Science as having little they found worthwhile
- Many liked meeting the department faculty
- Several felt that the lab periods could be better used
- One person wanted physical experiments – you’ll get them in CAE-210.
Thank you all for a good term, and thanks especially to the Shamia, Lauren and Jonathan for making the course flow so well.
