Grades

[Jay McCarthy]

I am about to start sending out grades. What you'll see is a
copy&paste of my grade sheet row for you. Each tab will separate the
columns. Your letter grade will be listed after your name. Your total
numeric grade will be after that. Then each of the grades for the
assignments.

The grades may not look right to you, because I have changed the old
grades to reflect the extra credit. So if you got 0/4 on day 2 but 6/3
on day 3, then day 2 will be 3/4 and day 3 will be 3/3. Because Google
keeps track of the revisions, I can find your original grade if you
think I've found it wrong.

Finally, to get your final numeric grade, rather than dropping your
lowest, I included it, but divided by 19 rather than 20. This
basically gives you a little boost if your lowest wasn't a 0, but is
the same otherwise.

The purpose of emailing them out is so that (a) you'll know and (b)
you can make sure I didn't make any mistakes. You'll have until I have
to submit grades (which I think is Thursday at noon) to raise any
objections.

Okay, you should all have a grade email.

I hope to see you all around. It was a rad term. Almost everyone who
turned in every assignment passed and about 22 people got As. I think
those are good numbers. The average grade was 70%, which is what it
should be (given what a C means.) Another interesting number is that
the average of those who turned in the last three assignments (no
matter what grade they got) is 87%. I think that''s interesting,
because it means that if you stuck with it, you did well.
