Grades are in

Your exam 3 scores and final averages are now posted to eLearning. Your exam 2 scores have also been updated to reflect any gains from the extra credit problem. Exam 3 went very well, with a class average of nearly 90%, meaning there was no scaling.

Your final averages have taken into account dropping your lowest quiz, HW, and lab scores. Recall that exams are worth 20% each, HW is 20%, and labs and quizzes are worth 10% each.

Let me know if you see anything still missing or incorrect, or have questions about how your grades worked out. Just to head off a common question: I know some of you will find yourselves very close to a grade boundary, but at this point I can't really offer any additional extra credit. I will very carefully check borderline cases though.

Your final letter grades are also posted on myBama now.

UPDATE - your exam 2 score will only change if your extra credit score is higher than your lowest non-dropped question on exam 2, since the extra credit question replaces the lowest-non dropped question if it is higher. Thus, if your lowest non-dropped question on exam 2 was 7/10 and you got 7/10 on the extra credit, your exam score does not change.
