Hi Section 81 students,
As you are aware, we were not able to conduct our proficiency exam on Friday at 1 PM due to a server power failure. Our makeup plan is as follows:
1. We will open the following slots during final exam week:
Tuesday, 3 to 5 PM
Wednesday, 1 to 3 PM
Wednesday, 4 to 4 PM
Rooms for these sections are still to be determined.
2. If you are in section 81 or were present as an invited makeup student (Jorge Peifer), please reply as quickly as possible with your preference (please list all classes that you could attend, not just a single preferred class). I need this information no later than Sunday evening (6/7) by 9 PM.
On Monday, I'll let everyone know the location and while exam you will be attending.
Thanks for your cooperation and patience. Good Luck with final exams.
Dave Augenblick

Hi Section 81 students,
PLease be sure to reply with your cs123 section 81 exam date preferences (see below for options). To date, I've only received 13 responses out of 33 eligible students. Even though, the original exam was postponed on Friday due to the power failure, you still must take this test!!
Hope to hear from those who have not yet replied shortly.
Thanks,
Dave Augenblick

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Hi Everyone,
The Proficiency exam results have been released and are now available.
At this time, we are requesting that you review your lab, quiz and exam scores one last time and report any issues to your instructor by Thursday at noon. We need to make our last set of revisions on Friday and issue your final grades to you over the weekend. We then plan on submitting your final grades to Banner on or about Monday.
Please note that grades for makeup proficiency exams taken tomorrow (Wednesday) will be entered into bbVista on Wednesday evening.
Please note that we will not be issuing "change of grades" n Banner issues for that can be identified at this time (eg. lab, quiz and exam score discrepancies)!
Good luck with final exams!
The cs123 Instructors

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Dear CS 123 Students,
Final grades for CS 123
Final grades are now posted on Blackboard. The final letter grades will be rolled into Banner on or shortly after Monday June 15, and you
should see them officially on or shortly after Tuesday June 16. We made the following adjustments to the basic grading:
A bonus of 16.67% was added to your Proficiency Exam score. This is equivalent to a 2 point (out of 12 points total) addition.
Also, for students who submitted a course evaluation (over 400 did so) a 2% bonus was added to your overall score.
For total lab and proficiency exam scores exceeding 100% (due to extra credit opportunities and the 16.67% bonus respectively), the score is rounded down to 100%.
No testing process is perfect. By awarding these bonuses, we reduce the need for extended conversations about small adjustments in grades due to misunderstandings or errors
made in testing and grading. Of course, if you feel that there are still major problems with your
recorded scores, please do bring it to the attention of your section instructor by Monday, 6/15 at noon!These adjusted scores were used to compute the final numerical grade using the weighting for labs (40%), quizzes (24%), and the proficiency exam (36%) described in the course syllabus. The following mapping was used between the final scores and final letter grades:
(Note : if a grade appears with parentheses in grade book, that is OK; your grade has been properly accounted for)
96.5+ A+
92.5+ A
89.5+ A-
86.5+ B+
83.5+ B
79.5+ B-
76.5+ C+
73.5+ C
69.5+ C-
66.5+ D+
49.5+ D
less than 49.5 FNote that in addition to the quiz and exam bonus, the grading scheme includes "rounding" for people who
are slightly below the actual cut offs of 93, 90, 87, etc. The median grade for this term as approximately 82%. If you have any questions or concerns about grading, please contact your
section instructor no later than 12 noon on Monday (6/15). If they are not resolved in a satisfactory way, you may then w...
