Dear all,
The grades of the exam 2 have been published: see section "grades after exam 2."
Your grade in this course is in the column "Final grade."
Students who have a blank entry in that column have not passed the course.
This "Final grade" has been computed according to the rule announced on Oct 23 and which is repeated at the end of this message for you convenience.
The review session ("revisão de provas" in Portuguese) takes place on THURSDAY, FEB 16, 10h30, in room 5.15 (floor 5 of North Tower).
Please note the following:
- the review session is not for increasing grades that happen to be close to a nearby integer; it is for detecting whether a question was graded wrongly;
- the review of grades is to be done in the review session on Thursday and cannot by done by email (except if you are abroad).
Best wishes,
jx
