Engineering Economics and Problem Solving: CHE 4N4

Administrative

Class materials

Announcements (previous ones)

Many of you found the Personal Finance part of the course interesting. May I suggest you look into a longer free course being offered online from Coursera. For those of you not familiar with Coursera, please read their website, as this emerging trend of MOOCs (massive open online courses) is really picking up, and is an effective form of SDL.

Final grades for 4N4 are now available on Avenue.
- Grading is according to the Course outline, but this is a more convenient spreadsheet to see how your grade was calculated.
- Course median 76.4%, with a spread of 7.1 (extremely narrow spread, due to the high degree of group work in the course).
- Course grades were normally distributed and no curving was done.
- The final exam was graded out of 100 marks.

Thank you again for your hard work in this difficult and unusual course. All the best for 4W4 next term.
