Your final has been graded and all data for the course, including your
projected letter grade, have been uploaded to Blackboard.
I made a slight adjustment by adding 10 points to everyone's score
(that's the difference between your "Grand Total" and "Grand Total Adj"
columns).
I will finalize your grades by entering them into BU Brain on Tuesday,
May 17. Those who elected pass/fail will see that instead of their
BB letter grade in their transcripts.
It was my pleasure to be your instructor. Good luck! -- Michael Fochler --

Corrected error in the home page and the syllabus:
The tentative grading scale listed a range of 900 -1030 points for an A.
This is technically correct, but you cannot obtain more than 1000 points.
Accordingly, the range for an A has been updated as 900 -1000 points.

a. All homework grades (1 - 19) are now on BB.
The column "Hwk Total" shows you how many homework points out of
62 possible you earned. The column "Hwk Adj" shows you
how those points translate into grade points.
Example: If your Hwk Total shows 31 points then that's 50% of 62 possible,
so Hwk Adj shows 200 points (50% of 400 possible).
If your Hwk total is x, then this translates into x(400/62) grade points.
b. If there are any discrepancies between BB and your assignments then
contact me right now:
This must be settled no later than Monday evening (the day of the final!
