Math 231

I've posted your final grades and your scores on the final on Blackboard. The gradescale for the final was as follows:

• 69–88: A- to A
• 56–68: B- to B+
• 41–55: C to C+

For more information about the process I used to turn your scores into your final grade, see my note on it from after the first midterm.

I still haven't officially posted the final grades. If you notice any mistakes in the gradebook, now is the time to tell me about them. I'll post the final grades tomorrow afternoon at 3pm or so.

Thank you for all your work this semester! If you have any questions about anything math-related in the future, please don't hesitate to send me an email or stop by my office.

Here are the solutions to the practice finals I posted:

• Fall 2019 final and solutions
• Spring 2018 final and solutions
• Extra final practice problems and solutions

Sorry to say my office hours are shifted today because my youngest child is home sick was sick and is still not quit well enough to go to daycare today, and I'm home with him in the morning while my wife works. But I will be available in the hour before class today if anyone wants to talk.

Just a reminder that there will be a quiz on Wednesday, May 8, on finding antiderivatives.

The final exam for our class will be held on Wednesday, May 22nd, at our usual class meeting place and time (2:30 in room 1S-218). My apologies for how long it took our department to schedule finals this year.

The final is cumulative, covering all the class material. As on midterms, you can use any scientific or graphing calculator (but not a phone or a computer), and you can bring a two-sided sheet of notes on standard-sized paper in your own handwriting.

The best way to study for the final is to work on practice problems. First, try to solve them under exam-like conditions. Then, go back and try to learn how to do any problems you couldn't solve. Finally, talk to me (or anyone else) or look up the solutions for anything you still couldn't solve.

Here are three sets of practice problems for the final:

• Fall 2019 final
• Spring 2018 final
• Extra final practice problems

I will post solutions to these exams as well.

I am actually here for office hours because everyone else in my family was doing okay today. So please feel free to stop by anytime today from now up until the start of class.

Unfortunately, I need to cancel my planned office hours tomorrow because my daughter came down with a stomach virus and I need to stay at home with her in the morning. I should be available in my office the hour before class, though. I can also do an extra morning hour on Wednesday if anyone wants to meet with me then; please send me an email to let me know if you do.

I've posted Midterm #2 scores on Blackboard. You can interpret your score as follows:

• 55–78: A- to A
• 44–54: B- to B+
• 34–43: C to C+

Anything lower than that is a D or an F.
