Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Systems - AEEM 313
Autumn, 2002



Yes, the grades went in, but not until Wednesday late. So, if they did not show up on your grade reports, I apologize. My fault. I try hard to be accurate with grade assessments, so I spend more time on it than I probably should. Add that to the fact that I let myself get behind in grading, and I wind up with late grades.

I think that the class overall learned a lot, and I enjoyed teaching a class that stayed awake (most of the people most of the time - :) ) even at 9 AM. Enjoy the holidays and the break.

Raw scores to 20 Nov 2002.

Interpreting the raw scores: Recall from the syllabus that the grades will be determined using weightings of 25% for individual homework, 25% for quizzes and tests, and 50% for projects. People who are at the class average on everything will be at about B-. Below average is a C of some kind, while the top 20% to 25% will get A's, depending on how the rankings come out. I do give D's, especially if several exercises are missed. I also watch for "outliers" - extraordinarily bad score on one item (bad day) or extraordinarily good on one item (lucky or got good help). You have to work hard to flunk my class, but cheating or never turning anything in will usually accomplish it.
