Bloopers

Some of you got an extra point or two
  1. on Exam 1 due to two bloopers on a diagram
  2. on Exam 3 due to a matching blooper, and/or
  3. on the final exam due to a magnetic field diagram blooper.
So look at your My Grades page and see if you got it, "..Exam 1 bloopers" etc.

If you did get one of those points, it is automatically added into the corresponding exam score. I will adjust "Best two midterms" a little later, so you might go up by a point or so.

Chuck Norris bonus

I combined the performance on the Chuck Norris SMA and Chuck Norris HW assignment into a "Chuck Norris combo-bonus" row of your My Grades page. Total is 2 + 2 for 4 points maximum.

Still more odds and ends to put in, grades-wise.

slackers

I just updated "..Final exam scantron" for a bunch of the slackers and absentees. Still a few more to fill out. RRRRRRRPPPP.

33 scantrons absentees

Scantron scores for the final exam are going up in a few minutes.

Except for 33 students who have no score -- doubtless due to not having a PID or test form bubbled in. You 33 will have to wait til tomorrow when I get back up to campus.

SMA points are on the books.

Final exam SMA points, including partial credit, are now UP for both sections. If you got an odd number of "..Final exam SMA" points, you earned at least 1 partial credit point. Even the " slackers" are finished.

Bernoulli effect and the lad lived to tell the tale.

Amazing story of Bernoulli effect popping out windows and sucking a young boy up into the wind. But he walked back home, what a story! He is the youngster on the left in red shirt.

SMA points

I will be working on the SMA files from yesterday. Some specs:
  1. Each SMA item is worth 2 points.
  2. I will comb through each sections data, for each item, to see if any answers merit partial credit if incorrect.
  3. So partial credit might earn you one point, instead of zero on any of the ten SMA questions.
  4. This will optimize your SMA pointage in a just manner, but...
  5. it will take some time to do this.
