Clickers pointage is activated; estimate current position.

Students, I just activated the "Clickers pointage" row and a little further down, the "Clickers answered subtotal" row on your My Grades page in Webcourses. The pointage is explained on the syllabus.

The pointage row reflects the points you would earn out of 25 possible on clickers for your semester grade. Remember, I will round this UP to the nearest whole number when I actually do the semester grades on Friday or so.

You can estimate your current grade state by adding up

1. the two exam scores,
2. HW pointage and
3. clickers pointage,

then dividing by 136. Look up this percentage on the syllabus.

There are some odds and ends to fix up, like question 46 from Exam 2 (still not finished!), bonus points etc., but the three figures above will give you a percentage pretty close to what your grade would be if I were to award semester grades today, instead of after the final exam. I estimate that 48 out of 57 students on the roster have at least a C- or higher right now, going into the final exam.

Remember, though: we still have HW and clickers this week, plus the final, so the percentages today can still change, especially due to the final exam.
