Slowness on the my.ucf.edu channel

There appears to be a teeny bit of slowness on the my.ucf.edu channel, for the updating of grades. I can see all your semester grades, but apparently you guys cannot.

The registrar's office says the updating of grade rosters for students is still cruising along, and will finish up soon, so we will be polite and not get too fussy about it. :)

Writing 2 grades finished.

The last few grades are UP for Writing Assignment 2.

Unfortunately, I had to grade the last few manually, so none of my comments show on your GradeMark view. However, I typed my comments into the gradebook, and they will show up in your My Grades page, in the row titled "Writing 2 comment."

Those of you who have GradeMarks from earlier this week, your comments are in the GradeMark view.

Good night!

Final exam scores are UP.

Your final exam scores are now UP.

It will appear in your My Grades page as either "Final exam" or "Your final exam" -- which was my way of duplicating the exam: one version for those who took the survey, one for those who did not have the survey.

So do not be alarmed if you have a score with one of these two lines but not the other. The image below shows a slice of my My Grades page. Normal.



Normally, I do not give letter grades on individual exams, but if I did -- 50% passing up to 90% A -- here is how they would be distributed.



Exam performance was good: tough to get an A, yet not too many Ds or Fs. Average was about 71% -- a C+.

Some trouble with GradeMark

GradeMark is off the air for some reason. I will get the rest of your guys' papers graded up tonight, even if I have to do so by printing them out on paper!!!! :)

Writing assignment 2 almost finished grading.

Scores are good on Writing Assignment 2, so far. Still a few to grade up.

I should finish them by lunchtime today. Let me get you guys going on the final, and then I will get back to finish off grading them.

Final Exam today!

Basic specs for the final exam:

1. You get 180 minutes.
2. 78 questions, 80 points total.
3. Available 10:00 AM this morning.
4. Closes at 9:50 PM tonight.
5. So, just to be double sure, try to get started before 7:00 PM if you want all three hours of time.

 

Side note: Two of the exam items are worth 2 points each, so there are only 78 questions this time.

ALSO: Some of you will be selected for taking a quick survey about rubrics, 13 questions, before the final.
