Final Exams can be reviewed in the Economics Department Main Office (549 Evans) between 1:30-2:30 pm M-F anytime after June 13. Note that if you remove the final exam from the office, you forfeit the right to dispute your grade. If you believe there was a serious error in the grading of your exam, you must leave the exam there and send an email to Susan Stratton or Prof. Rausser.
Course Grade Information
To calculate your final course grades, we took a weighted average of four components -- your homework grade (30%), the two midterm scores (20% each), and the final exam score (30%). We then added the points for the essay and added the in-class questions and "chips" at a ratio of 1 point per 3 questions/chips. Below, we list the cutoff points for each letter grade. (We only awarded A+ grades to students who had extremely high point totals without extra credit).
| A | 86 |
| A- | 79 |
| B+ | 74 |
| B | 70 |
| B- | 68 |
| C+ | 64 |
| C | 57 |
| C- | 50 |
