Think of the angular momentum vector for Jerome Simpson making this TD.



Excellent.

Morning Sec. 0001 scores UP.

You all in the morning lecture section 0001, your scantron scores are up now. Also, your clicker scores are up, making your Final Exam score complete. Now you can get your final semester points total worked out.

Sec. 0002, I am still working on your clicker points.

ALSO: for all sections, I am still processing Chuck Norris data (iClicker and HW) plus several lectures worth of iClicker data. So it will be rolling into place in the next few days.

Point totals now in effect

Per the syllabus, the following point totals are now in effect for figuring out semester grades.
Letter gradePoints needed
A216
B180
C144
D120
F<120

Note: nobody has final tally yet -- finals still being uploaded etc., iClicker data from last two weeks of lecture, etc. are still in flux. But this table shows what we are shooting for, and eventually your semester point total will be complete, falling into one of the above ranges.

ALSO: I do not round off anything other than the HW and clicker pointage. Do not confuse yourself by referring to percentages. Only points determine your semester grade.

Afternoon sec. 0002, your final scantron scores are up!

Scantron scores are now UP for the afternoon section 0002. Max possible was 79.

I am still working on the clicker points, so hold your fire on that for a little while longer.

You guys in the morning sec. 0001, it will be a while on your scantrons.

Bonus points subtotal

THere is a new row on your My Grades page in Webcourses, "Bonus points subtotal," which tallies up all the bonus point opportunities.

I will be working on bonus points for the next few days, so your subtotal in this row might change up or down, disappear, reappear then disappear again.

I have exam scores from Sec. 0002, the afternoon section. I will try to get them posted this morning or this afternoon. Keep an eye on your My Grades page.
