Grade computation
=================

#. It is now too late to protest grades that were uploaded to gradescope before the last class.
   
#. Weights are based on the syllabus.

#. Since there was only 1 in-class presentation, it was deleted from the grading weights and everything else was multiplied by 1.111.

#. Some things labeled as homeworks for convenience were really presentation or project.

#. The final project/paper grade was subdivided as follows:

   a. 2 reports (homework 12 and 13): 10% each
   #. talk: 40%
   #. report and/or paper: 40%

#. The real homeworks were numbers 1-4, 6-9, 11.  They were weighted equally.

#. Homework 5 was an in-class presentation and weighted as 11.1%
   
#. For the 4000 version:

   a. all homeworks: 55.6%
   b. in-class presentation: 11.1%
   c. project: 33.3%

#. For the 4000 version:

   a. all homeworks: 33.3%
   b. in-class presentation: 11.1%
   c. project/paper: 55.6%

#. Students who chose to present a homework solution or who corrected or supplemented something I said got a few extra points.

#. The grade cutoffs were at 95, 90, 85, ... for A, A-, B+, ...

#. I uploaded the most important columns to LMS.

#. LMS computes a required column called TOTAL.  Ignore it.  You want FINAL POINTS.

#. I've uploaded the letter grades to SIS.
