You can
now check your grades in Catalyst
(first, read the FAQs below):
Catalyst Gradebook for Section A
(10:30 lecture)
Catalyst Gradebook for Section B
(11:30 lecture)
GRADING FAQs -- PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY!
1) All
of your scores are shown in
your record, including
those that were dropped from your
grade computation.
Catalyst
Gradebook does not allow me to
indicate which scores were dropped.
However, be
assured that your
lowest non-blank hwk,
activity and participation scores
were dropped when computing your
Total Score.
2) Blanks indicate assignments that
were excused and did not
affect your grade.
3)
Your Total Score (overall
class percentage) was computed
according to the grade breakdown
listed in the
syllabus,
after dropping the lowest
hwk, activity and participation
scores.
4) The conversion of your Total
Score to a grade point was done
according to the posted "Grading scale".
A few grade points ended up better
than in the grading scale, but
mostly the class performance was
very good, so not much "curving" was
needed.
5) You can pick
up your final exam at my office
hours during the Spring quarter.
1:30-2:30pm on
Mondays & 2-3pm on Wednesdays (or by
appointment)
I'll
need to know your class (Math 112)
and quiz section (AA, BD, etc). If
you wish to keep your final exam,
you're welcome to do so, but you
should go over it carefully before
leaving my office, because I do not
accept later re-grade requests.
Have a good Spring Break!

You can check your scores, and your estimated grade so far via the links on the left sidebar.
Please read this carefully first:
* If any of your scores is recorded incorrectly, please bring that assignment to your TA and ask him to correct your score.
* Blanks correspond to either excused assignments, or to scores not yet entered in the sheet. Blanks are not included in the grade computation.
* The lowest non-blank homework, activity, and participation scores were dropped from the grade computation, even though they are posted (all scores are posted).
* If you missed the midterm for an excused reason (your score shows as a blank), ignore your posted % and grade, since they will be artificially low due to the missing midterm score. You will have to wait until after the 2nd midterm to get a reasonable grade estimate.
