The computer science, mathematics, and statistics
faculty at Grinnell College devote considerable attention to advising
incoming students about where they might best begin their course work. As
part of this effort, both faculty and students participate in an on-going
research project which uses techniques of artificial intelligence in
decision making. While final placement decisions are always the result of
discussion between students and faculty, an expert system may be helpful in
suggesting possible placements.
In order to utilize this expert system, you may enter appropriate scores
into the following table. Leave any box blank, if that information is
unavailable. In the subject boxes, please enter data for grades
9–12. For example, subject semesters would often be between
0–8. Grades are averages in all classes related to that subject
and must be represented by signed letters (e.g., A+,
B–).
