Afternoon section, your scores are now UP.

The scantron scores are now UP for afternoon section 0002.

Also, everyone's Exam 1 line now adds up "..Exam 1 scantron" and "..Exam 1 SMA" scores. When I do the odds and ends of "dna" on SMA data and PID errors on scantrons, I will be updating the SMA or scantron line, and that will automatically update the Exam 1 line. Here is what the sample student My Grades page looks like.



Exam average was 29/40, including all students who completed scantron and SMA. Good work.

Section 0001 morning class, scores are UP

I have just uploaded scantron scores to the "..Exam 1 scantron" line of your My Grades page in Webcourses. A few morning students do not have grades because they

1. were absent,
2. made an error writing their PID, or
3. did not bubble in the test form.

The latter two will take some time to set right. I have to grade them by hand.

We will start handing back exam printouts in lecture today.

Section 0002 afternoon class, I have your papers, too, and I will upload them about lunch time.

The total Exam 1 score will be tallied up in My Grades later this afternoon. It is simply the sum of the Exam 1 SMA and the Exam 1 scantron.

Friday's lecture visual podcast is up on iTunes U

The lecture podcast from this morning's lecture is now available. Use the iTunes U link in Webcourses and GET the podcast to view all the notes, equations and diagrams.

No scantron data yet. AGAIN

We still wait for the scantron scores. Nothing from test scoring, and it is now after 6 PM, so they are likely finished for the day.

I uploaded today's CPS session L14 into Webcourses.

No news on Exam 1 scantrons yet

End of the first full day of waiting: no news on our exam scores yet. :(

Maybe tomorrow.

iTunes U now linked to Webcourses

I just created a "powerlink" from our Webcourses home page to our iTunes U. I cannot see how it works for a student, however, so please give it a try and report back in the "Getting onto iTunes U" discussion area.

Exam attendance

I uploaded exam attendance "scores" twice today, once for each section, based on CPS. -1 means absent, 100 means present. It does not affect your semester grade and you can ignore it.

SMA scores are UP.

I just formatted up all the SMA data from today. Here is the scoop:

38. Exam 1.38 answer: "+" means you answered it correctly and earned 1 point. If incorrect, it lists the letter you selected.
39. Exam 1.39 answer: "+" means you answered it correctly and earned all three points. If incorrect, it lists the number you submitted.

For both rows, "dna" stands for did not answer.

Then the "Exam 1 SMA" line just shows how many of the 4 points you earned. There were 3 regular, 1 bonus point possible. Average was 2.02 out of 4, which means that a lot of people got some points on the bonus brain burner #39! Good.

Take a look. It will be in the lowest part of your My Grades page. The Exam 1 line above the blue divider will be the total of SMA and scantron. So we are still waiting for the scantron data.

See you for lecture on Friday!
