Announcements

  • Women and Gender Minorities in Computer Science at Yale
    My name is Madelyn and I am one of the co-presidents of Yale Women and Gender Minorities in CS (WGiCS) this year. WGiCS has a lot of resources and upcoming events aimed at helping our community navigate CS.

    I was wondering if you could send this link to your class: https://linktr.ee/wgicsyale to let your students know to join WGiCS's groupme and explore other potential resources.

    Thank you so much,
    Madelyn Mao

    Midterm and Grades

    The midterm exam will be graded in the next few days using Gradescope. Once grades are released, there will be a window of a few days during which you can request regrades for questions using gradescope. You need not send emails to me or the ULAs.

    At the end of the semester, I add up all the raw scores (problem sets, quizzes, exams, etc.). I then weigh the scores, with homeworks and quizzes worth 1/3, and exams worth 2/3. (Each midterm is 25% and the final is 50% of the exam grade.) I then sort the scores and apply a curve such that over half the class gets an A or A-. Note: this is consistent with the published grade distributions for the computer science department, which surprisingly, is pretty GPA friendly, unlike, say, economics.

    Also, if your final exam grade is higher than your lower midterm grade, that lower grade will be replaced by your final exam grade. The quality of mercy is not strained.

    Before you ask, you cannot replace your final grade with your higher midterm grade. Otherwise, you would not have to take the final exam.
