Voting points in My Grades.

The points on your semester grade from voting are now in the lines "Voted Leonardo" and "Voted Younger Dryas" with either 2 points each or N/A if you have not taken the two selector quizzes yet. You have until Monday, March 3, 10 PM for this task, after which: zero.

In case you are curious, the Voted Leonardo score is computed this way:

based upon your "Leonardo selector" score toward the bottom of the My Grades page.

So, by this formula, if you earned 104 points on the Leonardo selector quiz, then I tell Webcourses to multiply 2×104 and then divide by 104. The 104s cancel out numerically, and you get your two points. Kind of goofy, but this is how you defeat Webcourses and make it do what you want!

The "Voted Younger Dryas" points are computed the same way, and all of it automatically, as soon as you submit your quiz!
