Physics 110B - Winter 2025 - Final Exam and Grades


Here is the final exam.

Here
are the solutions.

You will be able to pick up your graded finals from Debbie Ceder, Broida 5014 (likely not before Wednesday March 26).

These are the distributions of scores on the homework, midterm, final, and the total.  (Reminder: total=15% homework, 35% midterm, 50% final).



Then, based on the "total" score, I assigned letters grades "roughly" as follows:
  • > 97 A+
  • > 84 A
  • > 81 A-
  • > 77 B+
  • > 71 B
  • > 65 B-
  • > 62 C+
  • > 50 C
  • > 40 C-
I say roughly because I bumped up letter grades of several students as follows:
  • if the combined score was very close to a boundary, e.g, 76.9
  • if the performance on the final was significantly better than on the midterm
  • if the combined score was hurt by a "poor" homework score
These were all judgement calls that go in favor of the students, please do not try to argue your case.
