All grades up to the end of week 15 are posted. The total is posted under the Week15Status column and is out of 80 points. Note that this is not a percentage. The status was obtained as follows:

Add all labs (L1..L14) and convert score to a max of 10 points.
Add all assignments (P1..P11, T1..T5) and convert score to a max of 35 points.
Add all clicker points and convert score to a max of 4 points.
Add all paper quizzes (Q1..Q6), drop the lowest score, and convert total to a max of 6 points.
Convert midterm 1 score to a max of 10 points.
Convert midterm 2 score to a max of 15 points.
Add scores from 1 through 6.

You can use this information to estimate how much you need in the final to achieve a desired grade. A student getting 65/80 right now, needs at least 15/20 in the final to get a B grade overall. That means this student needs to get at least 75% in the final exam.
If you notice or suspect any error in the grades, email your respective instructor ASAP (before your final exam).

Problems with checkin P10: Checkin doesn't seem to work from several CS machines. However, it does work from carrot.cs.colostate.edu . Please checkin P10 from carrot. You can physically log in to carrot, or ssh into carrot.cs.colostate.edu from other machines. Labops should be able to help you with logins. Meanwhile, system administrators are trying to fix the problem.

For P4, we will not use any phone number that contains a leading zero for the third part (NUMC). In other words, we will not use 0xyz for NUMC.

We will give credit for printing "Domestic" or "domestic" when the phone number is a domestic number.
