Homework and CPS updates

I just updated all the HW and CPS scores in Webcourses. Right now you have
  1. 234 homework points
  2. 101 CPS points.
At semester's end, we will convert CPS scores to 24 points on the semester grade, as lined out in the syllabus. For CPS, you will get all 24 points if you have answered 85% of the questions, either right or wrong. So if your "CPS answered running subtotal" reads 85 or more today, you have a lock on the 24 points for now. However, we have about 8 more lectures, so that result can change between now and the end of the semester.

For homework, you just go by the straight percentage. E.g., if you have 204 HW points today, that is about 87% of the homework and you get 14 out of 16 points on your semester grade.

CPS and HW points come in right handy this time of the semester.
