FINAL GRADES ARE POSTED. 

If you would like specific information about your grade, or would like to go over your final exam with me, please send me an e-mail at lowell@econ.ucsb.edu.  Have a good winter quarter. 

 

Great job, everyone, on the class project.  Here are the project team grades; all but one person got the same grade as the rest of their team: 

Team 1—A

Team 2—A

Team 3—A-

Team 4—A

Team 5—A-

Team 6—A-

 

The FINAL EXAM was due Monday, December 6.  I was in my office from 11-noon to accept hand-delivered exams; a Word document via e-mail worked just as well.  **Late exams were marked down half a grade per half hour (so if it arrived at 12:25pm, it was an A- rather than an A; at 12:45pm it was a B+).**
