Exam 2 squared away now.

I think the Exam 2 score is squared away now, for EVERYBODY, even those who threw a blooper on their PID or test form. You have one other other of these two:
  1. disasterized version, 2× 16 scantron questions everybody had + 2× iclicker
    (Those of you who had form C, this is your only grade.)
  2. conventional version, true scantron (out of 35) + true iClicker (out of 5).
Most people had the disasterized version as their better score, so that is the one you get, on account of the proverbial benefit of the doubt.

Also, the "best two midterms" sum is now up to date and final.

That's about it -- I do not think another 37 pieces of flair are necessary for Webcourses2 today.

Exam 2, the never ending story

In my effort to give everyone the proverbial benefit of the doubt on Exam 2 scores, I wanted to set everyone's Exam 2 score to be the higher of these two methods:
  1. Doubles: double the clicker score (10 points possible), double the scantron scores on the sixteen questions everyone got to answer, even Form C students (32 points possible);
  2. Regular: regular iClicker score (5 points possible), regular scantron score (35 points possible, but only for forms A, B and D.
I thought I had separated the two methods and posted the higher of the two. However, a handful of you have reported to me individually that your "doubles" was actually better but that the "regular" had been posted as the official Exam 2 score. I thought I had caught all of them, but apparently not.

So... I will try to get it all squared away again today. And as I work on it all, I will repeat this five times, "Webcourses2 is my friend... Webcourses2 is my friend..." :D

New HW and iClicker 2 estimates

I updated the estimates of your iClicker 2 and homework pointage:
  1. (Estimate April 2) iClicker 2 participation pointage subtotal
  2. (Estimate April 2) Homework pointage based on all HW
Remember, these are preliminary estimates and can change significantly by the end of April, due to more classroom participation on iClicker 2 and more homework.

And you know how much I love giving those excellent homework assignments! :D
