This is not an actual class, but a place to present info about the grading.

1   Final grading notes

I made some grade formula changes to so that your final total would not go down.

  1. Make full points for piazza continue to be 5, not 6. So, some students could go over full points here, but allowing that seemed better than clipping it at 5.
  2. Make full points for iclickers be 9 although there were 14 iclicker days.
  3. Something went wrong on the last iclicker day, so everyone got a point, although half the class was absent.
  4. Use these changes and exam 3 (main and conflict) to compute a total grade 509 (altho it's computed on 510).
  5. BTW some students did increase their grades by writing exam 3.
  6. I'd uploaded earlier total grades on 423, 501, and 507.
  7. Make the new total total510=max(total423, total501, total507, total509).
  8. Use the grade cutoffs in the syllabus.
  9. This gives a course GPA=3.3. That's not so bad for a 2000-level course.
  10. I uploaded total510, grade510, and exam3normalized to LMS.
