Winter 2019 - Okay Winter Class 2020, 2021, 2022, and so on, here are some heads up things before you take the class: 1) 100% of your grade is exams. Exam 1: 100 pts, Exam 2: 100 pts, Final exam: 150pts. No busy work to buffer your grade. There are regrades for specific questions. 2) Depending on the average, he will curve so that the top 35% gets A-/A/A+. Most of you, I know, will want that A/A+ so strive for top 25% at least. 3) My scores: Exam 1: 75/100 [Class average: 65/100], Exam 2: 86.5/100 [Class average: 80/100], Final: 148.2/150 [Class average: 112/150] , which sums to 309.7/350 (88.5% overall raw score). I still got an A [insert humble brag], which was like 5 points off of an A+ 4) Best TA's I've ever had. An-Chieh Feng, Bradley, and Choi are all good. An-Chieh Feng is the best though. 5) Exams are fair, but you need to be attentive and rested before so you don't make silly mistakes. Study right for the exam by understanding the points he emphasizes during his lectures. Please, do not study this class like it's another memorization class. He will test you on understanding and your ability to think through a problem, not whether or not you remember something. If he does test you on such a thing, it will be something big or very important that he has emphasized in lecture. 6) Contact me at ************* if you want exam scoops. 7) Take this class, hands down one of the most amazing classes I've taken. Dasgupta is 100% the reason why this class is one of the best in the MIMG department.
