Your scores on the various graded tasks in the class will be available over the web through the link found below. You need your UWNetID and password for access.
Questions about homework and exam scores
If you believe that we made a mistake in grading an exam or homework, please do the following:
- Write an uwnetid to your TA (cc to the professor) describing what you think is the problem.
- Read the TA's response carefully. If you still think there is a problem, reply to the uwnetid and tell the TA you would like to discuss it.
- Have a discussion with the TA.
- If you disagree with the outcome of that discussion, tell the TA and then set up a meeting with the professor.
- Discuss it with the professor. Presumably we can come to a resolution at that time.
Grades
Your total score for the class will be converted to a grade using the following conversion table.
| Grade (4-pt Scale) | Letter Grade |

Note: You are not in competition with other students in the class for your grade. Do the work and you'll do fine.
It is important for you to work on the material as we discuss it in class. Keep up with the readings, attend lectures and labs, and do the homework and the projects! If you do these things, your grade will take care of itself, and you will enjoy the class, too.
