ALL Final Exam Scores are on Quest for ALL Students

You can now see your final exam score on Quest. Right now there are no plans to curve the final or to lower the grade breaks. All you can do now is wait.

If you have a zero or some impossibly low score, please contact your class' Quest TA with the inquiry.

Dr. McCord is NOT Available to "talk"

It is always after the final exam that students feel the need to "talk" to me about their grades. I can assure you that talking about your grades will not in anyway affect the outcome of your grades. The ONLY thing that determines your grade are the scores you've received on the various assignments (with a heavy weighting on the side of exams).

I am not even on campus, so please don't hang out at my office in hopes to catch me for a chat. If you feel you must (and many of you feel this way), send an email to me and I will read it. I may or may not respond to it, but do know that I will read it. I have a deadline to get grades turned in. THAT is my first priority this week.

Survey POINTS are Posted on Quest

There were 3 pre-semester surveys and 3 post-semester surveys. These were surveys conducted by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Each completed survey is worth 1/2 point as an add-on to an exam. So the maximum possible for surveys is 3 points. Remember that Quest cannot and will not add those points on to your exam. I will do that in my own spreadsheet. The CIS Surveys for the instructor, course, and TAs was NOT apart of the extra credit point system.

iClicker scores are now FINAL!

iClicker scores were adjusted by dropping the 7 lowest daily scores and then capping the totals at 10 points less than that. The bottom line is that your iClicker score on Quest is THE iClicker score to be used as 10% of your overall grade in the course.

Quest Homework - average best 12 out of 15

Your average for homework (10% of your grade) is based on your highest 12 homeworks (drop your lowest 3). Quest should be showing this correctly now - your dropped scores will be crossed out like this.
