Econ 365 AND Econ 421 - Grades are in. Happy Holidays and stay safe.

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 - The Final is Monday (12/14) from 8-10 AM. There are 7 questions (worth 52 points) and the Exam is worth 30% of your grade. Make sure to email me at CSUN if you WANT to take it. Also, email me to clarify what your current grade is.

Econ 421 - The Final is Wed, 12/9, from 8-10 AM (unless time conflict). Unless you missed one of the Midterms (so that I will post the Final for those students), you MUST OPT IN to take the Final. Email me at CSUN to do so. 70 points: 30 M/C, 6 essay/prob worth 40 points total

Econ 365 - I gave all of you 2 "Dodger" points on MT#2 - you'll find them under fudge points at the end of the exam - mail me if you didn't get them

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 - The high score in the class was 90.6%. Therefore the benchmark for A-minus is 81.5%, B-minus is 72.5%, and C-minus is 63.4%. I have played with these benchmarks a bit. Email me to find out your grade pre-Final.

Econ 365 - The overall percentages on Canvas are USELESS. To figure out your actual percentage, do the following: Compute your percentage score on the tests and the paper.
Multiply each exam % by 25/70 and the paper % by 20/70. Add these up and that's average in the class.

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 421 - The Final is on Wednesday. If you missed a test you must take it. If you've taken all 3 tests, you must opt-in for the Final by emailing me. Email me if you need to confirm what your grade is at this point.

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 421 - Incentives matter! We're over 50% response rate. Grades are easy: the percentages on Canvas are correct since each exam was worth the same. Look at the syllabus and you'll see your grade should you not take the Final. (see the next tweet)

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 & 421 - We're up to 46 responses. Once we get to 49 I'll tweet you about grades!

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 AND 421 - We have 41/98 responses on the evaluations. When we exceed 50% I'll start tweeting about grades: https://t.co/R6Yd0dP60s

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 & Econ 421 - Only 39 out of 98 evaluations have been completed; the deadline is Dec 8.
Fill out the evaluations at https://t.co/R6Yd0dP60s

If I see a higher response rate, I may tweet you about grades sooner (particularly 421)

[David Fractor @docecon]

Econ 365 - A number of you did not put the case citation in your paper. The case citation is important because it tells the reader where to find the actual ruling. My handout had all of the case citations on page 2!

[David Fractor @docecon]
