I have finished marking the final exam. Overall, results are generally very good (average of 86%)
Individual results and final grades are available in WebCT, from symbiose.uqo.ca
- P.S. The column "Grand total" in WebCT takes into consideration the weighting of each exam : the highest on 45% and the lowest on 35%
Each student will receive some marking comments by email
Ce fut un plaisir de vous enseigner.
Thanks and happy holiday season!
