School Year Wrap-Up 

School Year Wrap-Up

I graded 50 exams, and calculated final grades for 55 students. One I'm sure has given up on the course, but there may be four who want to write a make-up exam during the summer. That will mean I'll have to make up the exam myself, and grade it.

Of course I still do those calculations by hand, but the word is spreading at the university that it is quite easy to do with a spreadsheet. Take an hour or so to set it up at the beginning of the year, with all students who have signed up, add grades for specific assigments as they come in, and have the software keep track of percentages and the final grade. I know from my day job that this is quite doable, but I didn't get that far in computers when I was teaching full time.
