Grades / Last post

Grades are posted here [PDF], sorted by the last 4 digits of your student number.  If there is an error, please let me know immediately.

Notes:
  • These grades are for section Z only. Professor Turpin will distribute the grades for section M.
  • These grades are unofficial until approved by the department.  Occasionally, the department will require changes to the final grades, either to raise or lower.
  • If you did not write the final exam for any reason (including an approved request for deferred standing), your grade does not appear here.
Please address questions on final exam grading as follows: for the written part, please ask me; for the labtest part, please ask Professor Turpin.

Enjoy your summer.

  3. FYI for those in Gordon Turpin's section. I've received my final grade on the grades portal on my.yorku.ca. He also mailed me the results from my laptest to my CSE mail account.

  4. NOOOO! I ended up with a C. Is there anyway you can boost it up to a C+ please?

  5. I got a B based on tests 1 and 2, and suddenly I pass the course with a C.
    Please... is there any way to boost it up to a C+, so that I (we) can enter to 2000-level courses?
    Such a pain... please :(

  6. The lab test grading was extremely unfair, it seems the people who got it right got 85-100% on each problem, while the people who tried but didn't get it right got some 0-30%...!!!!, what happened to giving partial credits.

    One of the student I know has been programming for a long time and he aced this course with A+, but not everyone has years of prior programming experience, and its not easy to get a solid grasp of recursion in just 2 weeks prior to final exam.


    Yes, the marking in the first two lab test were too lenient, but this marking scheme in the final lab test is brutally unfair. There should be some part marks (not some 1 of out 6) for problems that were not 100% correct.

    depressing...

  8. For my labtest, if you change one thing then it works. Yet I ended up losing 5 marks! If the professors can see this message, please understand that the marking seems to be a little too harsh, and our actual efforts in the code were not observed. Thanks for understanding!

  9. Professor Turpin marked the exams quiet leniently. Lets be fair and check our exams the same way

    Yes he did my friend. My friend's code was way off
    . His recursive method didn't work at all, it was giving stack overflow and he got 4/6 because it compiled I guess

    2nd part: His array was not sorted at the end. He got 6/7

    3rd Part: His method didn't do anything. It was printing the same thing as the input and he got 4/7

    Final marks for him : 14/20 70% (B grade)

    That's such bull! My code worked way better than that and I got a lot lower mark. No way was it fair. I guess your friend was in good standing with the professor...

    4/6 for compiling is ridiculous. NOBODY gets 4/6 for compiling! More like 1/6.

    6/7 for array not sorted?!?!?!? So what was the point of the method?!?!?!?!?

    Either your friend is lying or the professor is super biased in his marking.

  13. Ya my code worked perfectly, just one line needed to be changed. I got way worse marks than your friend. Some thing is not right here, I really worked hard and my efforts are not reflective of my mark at all. I might as well have just made code like your friends, does nothing useful and gets better marks. I worked very hard this is truly not fair.

    Something needs to be done here, hope you read this Professors. Thanks!

  14. I really have a recommendation for this course , i think in the labtest , we would better to a better environment. For example , it would be quicker if we have a key to save the code and submit it or we can have a strong compiling command to compile the code and submit it. i really think NLED editor is easier than VIM, but we don't have it on the Linux machine. In this way, we can spend more time thinking the programming problem instead of configuring the code editor.

  15. i've had enough of this bull, no wonder about the stereotypes for this school..

    i am outta here.

  16. CSE 1030 turned out to be an awful course. No wonder York has such a bad reputation. Professors won't even respond to e-mail about grade appeals, this is really not fair to the students.

    I know Professors don't care about what we write here, but I really think these concerns need to be addressed. There should be some method through which we can raise our concerns, and receive answers. I am very upset, I worked very hard in this course, and do not think my mark is reflective of it. Moreover, I do not even understand why I got the mark I got, and the Professors are not willing to respond to e-mails.

    I will definitely not recommend this school to anyone. It was a mistake to come here for CSE.

  17. What is this about professors not responding? I have tried to respond to every request I have received. As far as I know, so has Professor Turpin. If I've missed any it's by accident.

    If you have sent an appeal request and I have not responded, please send it again.

  18. I think there is an error for my lab exam. I'll send you an e-mail now.

  19. Hi, what is Professor Turpin's e-mail?
    I can't find it.
    Thank you.

  20. Prof. Turpin's address is gordon at cse...

    Just as a reminder, please address questions about the written test to me, and questions about the lab test to Prof. Turpin. If you ask me about the lab test, I will just pass it along to him, since he both wrote it and marked it.
