Reading Courseinfo

Just a quick note if you’re checking your scores on the Courseinfo site:

Homework #9 has been graded and the scores posted, if you stop by my office when I am around, you can pick it up, and I’ll bring it to the final otherwise.

The BUCLD extra credit problems are the content of the “xc-bucld” column.

If you turn in the VP ellipsis extra credit problem, that will go into the “xc-vpe” column.

As a reminder, to figure out what your actual homework score will be computed on, remove the lowest one altogether, then—if you have (or intend to have) an extra credit score—substitute it in for the lowest remaining score. If the extra credit score is actually somehow lower than your lowest remaining score, then just add the extra credit score to the lowest remaining score (maximum 5). Then, add up the eight numbers you have, divide by 8, and that’s the number I would use. See? Simple.

(See the previous post about the midterm for an estimate of what the homework numbers correspond to in terms of letter grades.)
