GRADE SUMMARY for McFarland's MATH 143
See student criticism of Prof. McFarland ?

Starting Fall 2007, a new UWW grading scheme will use (plus) and (minus) grades such as B+ and C-. Shown below are grades for Spring 2007 and Fall 2006 using both new and old grading schemes. If the new grading scheme had operated for the previous 2 semesters, the average grade in Math 143 would have been very slightly higher. About a third of students would have 0.33 more grade points, another third would have 0.33 fewer grade points, and the remaining third would have the same grade points.
