Course Grades


Most course grades have been computed and should be available here soon. If your grade was not posted, it is because you are in a group of students that require additional review (e.g., double checking exam scores, checking Scantrons for excessive erasures and other marks, checking medical documentation for missed exams) and your grades will be submitted when available to the University Records Office (You'll have to access your course grade through UB SOAR (Student Online Access to Records or by telephone using BIRD -- this list will NOT be revised.). Meanwhile, in addition to the usual holiday greetings I am receiving the typical round of 'dump' questions about "how can I change my course grade?" The answer is simple: repeat the course and study harder next time! There are no extra credit activities available for this course and time prohibits responding to most inquiries regarding these types of issues.

Computing Your Final Course Grade

Your course grade is simply the mean for the three exams (based on 100 points each) converted to a letter grade using the scale previously posted. For the first two exams there were "bonus questions" that could increase your score, with some students scoring above '100%' and carrying the extra points into their remaining exams. For the last exam the "bonus questions" were obtained by your participation in the in-class discussion groups.
 
Grading Scale
 A = 92-100%
 A- = 90-91%
 B+ = 88-89%
 B  = 82-87%
 B- = 80-81%
 C+ = 78-79%
 C  =  72-77%
 C- =  70-71%
 D+ =  68-69%
 D  =  60-67%
 F  =  59% and below

Overall Class Performance

For those of you who performed well in this course, yes, there were a number of "F's" and quite a few "D's." For those of you who performed poorly in this course, there were a lot a "A's" and even some scores that would be awarded an "A+" if the university recognized this grade. And for many of you, the average grade of "C" (see the university catalog for interpretation of the official grading scale) was the average grade for the course (amazing how that works sometimes).

This course was designed to provide background in behavioral neuroscience for psychology majors and should normally be taken early in your academic studies (e.g., second year) prior to advanced courses in this area. There was wide range of students enrolled in the course, ranging from premed. and postgraduate students to students with majors in other departments (e.g., art, history). Students with backgrounds in the physical sciences generally found the course too easy, while some students found this the first academically rigorous course of their undergraduate careers. Hopefully, everyone who passed the course learned something and feels a sense of accomplishment from completing a difficult course.
 

Happy holidays . . .
