Checking grades online

I now finally have the system set up so you can log in and see your grades.

1) go here: http://faculty.mint.ua.edu/~pleclair/moodle/
2) Click on "PH102 Summer 2010" (for both sections)
3) Then, to log in to the system:

• Your username is same as your bama email address
• Thus, if your bama email is "jdingus@bama.ua.edu" your username is "jdingus"
• If you have a @crimson address, perform the analogous string operation.
• Your password is the last four digits of your CWID. You can change the password if you like after logging in. In fact, this is an awesome idea. Please change it right away.

Once you have logged in successfully, you should be at the main PH102 course page. There are a great number of things on this page, most of them are not useful. I'm really only using this thing so you can view your grades. Facebook, blogger, email, and IM handle the rest well enough.

From this page, you can access your grades. You should see a link for "Grades" on the left-hand side of the page, about halfway down, under "Administration." For that matter, you can change your profile, create a little blog or discussion board, or all sorts of other things.

Any feedback you have on this system is helpful. Let me know if it works ... Right now, the first five quizzes, the first four homework sets, and your exam 1 scores are there. (Please check to make sure that is true ...) One homework and one quiz are being dropped from the listed average, as per the syllabus. The overall course grade is, for the moment, meaningless since I did not put in the proper percentages for each category. I'll do this soon.

If you are missing a grade, it means I didn't get it. Let me know if this is in error. Similarly, check that your scores in Moodle correspond to what you were handed back. Lab grades will appear there once the TAs send them to me ...
