Progress Reports (Mid Term Grades)
Progress Reports have been sent to the Registrar based on Quiz 1 grades Q, and the Homework average, HW, of all regular assignments due through Tuesday, February 11 (hw05). A weighted average was calculated according to:
(3Q + HW) / 4
An S was issued when this was equal to or greater than 70%, otherwise, a U was issued. Lab, Breakout, and In-Class grades were not considered, nor, obviously, was the Final Exam.
If you have earned a U, this is the time to take a realistic look at your approach to the course and your resulting performance. Remember that the purpose of Progress Reports is to warn students who might not realize that their performance is unsatisfactory, in time for them to get some help.
Note that a single grade, your score on Quiz #1, has a very large impact on your Mid-Term Grade. We will try to provide you with an "unofficial" Progress Report after Quiz #3, but before drop day, so you may be guided by something based on more of your work.
