1 Grade computation

  1. It is now too late to protest grades that were uploaded to gradescope before the last class.

  2. Weights are based on the syllabus.

  3. Since there was only 1 in-class presentation, it was deleted from the grading weights and everything else was multiplied by 1.111.

  4. Some things labeled as homeworks for convenience were really presentation or project.

  5. The final project/paper grade was subdivided as follows:

    1. 2 reports (homework 12 and 13): 10% each

    2. talk: 40%

    3. report and/or paper: 40%

  6. The real homeworks were numbers 1-4, 6-9, 11. They were weighted equally.

  7. Homework 5 was an in-class presentation and weighted as 11.1%

  8. For the 4000 version:

    1. all homeworks: 55.6%

    2. in-class presentation: 11.1%

    3. project: 33.3%

  9. For the 4000 version:

    1. all homeworks: 33.3%

    2. in-class presentation: 11.1%

    3. project/paper: 55.6%

  10. Students who chose to present a homework solution or who corrected or supplemented something I said got a few extra points.

  11. The grade cutoffs were at 95, 90, 85, ... for A, A-, B+, ...

  12. I uploaded the most important columns to LMS.

  13. LMS computes a required column called TOTAL. Ignore it. You want FINAL POINTS.

  14. I've uploaded the letter grades to SIS.
