* Many of you found the ''Personal Finance'' part of the course interesting. May I suggest you look into a longer [https://www.coursera.org/course/financialplanning free course being offered online from Coursera]. For those of you not familiar with Coursera, please [http://www.coursera.org/courses read their website], as this emerging trend of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course MOOCs] (massive open online courses) is really picking up, and is an effective form of SDL.


 
This course website is an archive of the website, as used in 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is still open for your reference. Please [[Engineering_Economics_and_Problem_Solving:_4N4:About |feel free to use these materials]] as you wish.
* Final grades for 4N4 are now available on [http://avenue.mcmaster.ca Avenue].
** Grading is according to the [[Course_outline_(2012)| Course outline]], but this is a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtqiArsxgE8YdGxCVmNrNDV4UF9NMEdLeDlOaFdNQmc more convenient spreadsheet] to see how your grade was calculated.
** Please ignore any calculated grade in Avenue:
*** Ignore the midterm total
*** Ignore the final exam total
:: Avenue doesn't handle complex grading schemes and it definitely doesn't handle exceptions (e.g. people that miss midterms).
::The only values you should read in Avenue are the different values for each assignment and the values for each question in the midterm and final.
:: The correctly calculated grade is the column called '''FINAL GRADE'''. That is an integer-rounded value that will appear on your transcript.
:* 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.
