Semester grades update

Sorry to not announce the updates before now. We were racing against the clock yesterday, to get your grades plus several hunderd other students' grades uploaded by 5 PM to a tricky, slow and reluctant computer system run by the registrar. After which I got some ZZ til this morning. WHEEWWWW!

Anyway, here are some updates which you might already have figured out:
  1. Uploaded final exam scores.
  2. Converted CPS work to the points (out of 30) that go into your semester grade. This is in the "CPS pointage" row of your grades page.
  3. Computed the CPS bonus for getting more than 75% of CPS questions correct. Seventeen students got it. Nice work!
  4. Got the homework points (out of 25) on your semester grade figured out. This data is in the "HW pointage" row in your grades page.
  5. Depending on how well you did, I gave up to 1 bonus point on each of the mega reviews: i.e., the Chuck Norris SMA and the Webcourses Super-mega combo review homework.
You could have calculated all of these point values from the data in the gradebook before yesterday, but now you have these rows figured out for you. Good.

Now I will get some ZZZ.
