I have now, in principle, turned on the BU Learn site for this course. The sole purpose of that site for me is as a place to record the homework scores and other scores, and a place to display what I have in my spreadsheet as far as grades. What is there right now as I type this is basically the state of things as of the midterm—so homework assignments 1−4 and the midterm, as well as the letter grades I assigned for the midterm, and would have assigned for the homework and overall if for some reason the semester had ended right then. So, the homework grade is computed by dropping the lowest scoring homework and then averaging the percentages of the others, and the grading scale for both is the same as the one that I announced for the midterm.

Homework 5 is not in there yet, I’ll try to put that in there shortly, and there may be a couple of notes that I still have about revisions that I have not yet implemented. If you see something that looks wrong there, let me know. Even if I have a note to myself to revise a homework score, nothing is lost by sending me a note, though I think I should have those all fixed up pretty soon.

I’ll move on to putting together the example that we did in class next, but I wanted to get this up there, since I know at least a few people were wondering about this.
