Early Progress Grades

I've entered your Early Progress Grades into ISIS.  Those included the two speeches you've given, the mid-term, and 50 assignment points (since we're halfway through the class). The score was out of 350 points.

There are two things I want to clarify:

1. If you were on the edge (89%, for example), I gave you the lower grade.  Remember, this grade is only for your reference -- so it seems to me more useful to know that you're on the edge so that you can step up a bit.  If I rounded, I'm afraid some would slack off and regret it later.

2. If you are missing an speech/exam, I adjusted it out.  For example, if you are missing the midterm, I took your score out of 250 points (350 - 100).

I was disappointed to see that many of you have only completed a few assignment points. Remember, that category is worth 10% of your grade -- or an entire letter.  The post below has information on a good way to earn a big chunk of these points, so I would highly recommend checking it out.
