Unofficial grades

Here are the unofficial course grades. Please let me know as soon as possible if there are any omissions or errors.

These grades are not final until they are approved by the department. Sometimes (but very rarely), the department requires changes to the grades.

If your grades do not appear here, it is because you did not write the final exam.

Twitter Experiment

As I mentioned in class, I'm experimenting with Twitter as a teaching tool. So here's an incentive for you to participate in the experiment. If you do all the following, you will get a 1% bonus added to your final grade:

• Sign up for a Twitter account (if you don't have one already).
  
• Send me your Twitter name by email.
  
• Follow the course Twitter feed before class on Thursday, Sep 17 (otherwise, no bonus).
  
• Be an active participant in the experiment (e.g., follow your classmates, discuss labs or problem sets on Twitter, and so on -- like I said, this is experimental, so I need to see what works and what doesn't).

Let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Major updates to web page

See the course web page for some major updates:

• Course policies (including grading scheme)
• Course schedule (including dates for the midterm, quizzes, and lab demonstrations)
