Important Things To Remember

We're almost done for the semester, so several announcements and reminders:
  • All of the points are posted except for the project and the final exam. I have posted a grade calculator so that you can see how many points you'll need on the final to get an A, B or C based upon your expected grade for the project*. Download the calculator here. (Excel format)
  • The project is due by 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 11.
  • Peer evaluations for the project are due at the beginning of the class on exam day (8-10 a.m. next Monday 12/14 -- please note exam time). Download the peer evaluation form here.
  • On Wednesday, we'll talk a little about writing up your research, and then do a short review for the exam
  • Be sure to complete the online student evaluation of teaching form before Friday. Click here to complete.
* Note about your points: Please do not email me after the final grades are posted and ask me to change your grade. Your grade is based on your points. If I have made an error or left off points, by all means let me know. However, the final grading is very simple. If you have enough points, you get the grade. If you don't, you don't. (900 points is an A, 899 is a B, etc.) Your point total already includes attendance, extra credit and curves, so I don't add points on top of that. If you email to ask me for an exception, you'll just waste both of our time. No exceptions. Period. Exclamation mark.
