I have uploaded your grades for the final and the letter grade you will see
on your transcripts to BB.
The total points you earned are displayed in the "TOTALadj" field.
I have curved the grades by adding 30 points to that field.
That's the "GrandTotAdj" field just to the left of the Hwk 1 field.
I have applied the grading scale from the bottom part of the syllabus
to that GrandTotAdj field, and that's how you got your letter grade.
For example, if your GrandTotAdj value is between 700 and 749 then
your letter grade is a B-.
The grades for the final are also listed on the grades page of the
course website.
I hope that at least most of you are happy with your grade,
and I wish you a joyful holiday break.
I always try to take care of my students as far as references are concerned,
so do not hesitate to contact me if you need my help in that respect.
It was my privilege to be your instructor. Good luck to you all!

Don't be late for the 8:00 final at FA 209!
That Fine Arts building is a maze, and I recommend that you walk there
today or tomorrow so you know where FA 209 is located: Take the entrance to
the right of the John Arthur Cafe. This entrance is very close to the
upper end of the stairs which you encounter when walking from WH to LH.

All homework grades now are on BB, and I also have populated several fields
that contain totals.
Here is some explanation of the non obvious fields.
hwkSum = sum of Hwk 1 - Hwk 18
hwkAdj = hwkSum * (400/63): This converts your homework points
to up to 400 grade points
TOTAL = your grade points earned so far:
the results of your final exam are yet to be added
TOTALadj = TOTAL rounded up to the next integer
in case that TOTAL is not an integer
GrandTotAdj:
IF I decide to curve the grades than this will be reflected here.
Your letter grade will be based on this entry.

get it back on Monday then I urge you to look at my instructions
and redo your work before we meet on Monday.
