Grades are now posted in Catalyst.  PLEASE READ THIS FAQ CAREFULLY FIRST:

* As stated in the syllabus, your lowest non-blank quiz score was NOT counted towards your quiz average, even though it does appear in your grade record. (The dropping happens in the average calculation.) Any blank score is excused and is also not counted toward your grade.

*  As promised, your homework grade got a 5% bonus (up to a max of 100%) 

*  Yes, the grade posted is your final grade . Yes, it was "curved" in your favor (compared to the syllabus and to previous computations). Sorry, there is no extra credit. The only valid reason for a grade change is if we made a grading error.

* If you'd like to see your final exam, you are welcome to come to my office at the office hours posted below. Please know your quiz section.
