Instructions for Interpretation of Data

    To access most of your score data, after clicking on the semester of your class, click on the tab "Sheet1" at the lower left corner of the screen.  To access your quiz and other extra credit scores, click on the tab "Sheet2".

Explanation of Summary Data Displayed on Score Sheet 1:

    %TD is the % of a "perfect" score to date which you have earned.

    CUM% is the % of possible points for the semester which have been earned to date.  If you
              were to earn all zeros from here on, this would be your % score at the semester's end.

    GRADE is an attempted prediction of your course grade.  This predictor is almost meaningless early in the term, but becomes increasingly more
              accurate as the term progresses.  GRADE is based on the percent of a "perfect" score earned to date (%TD).  It is determined using the
              absolute grading scale displayed in the upper right corner of the spreadsheet.  That grading scale may be adjusted at your instructor's
              discretion at the term's end, but it will never be made more harsh, i.e., your grade can only improve or remain fixed if your instructor
              decides to make adjustments.

    "Perfect" is a "perfect" score.  Perfect percentages cannot exceed 100% (perfection) so these scores do not include quiz or bonus points.

    Possible is the maximum possible number of points. It includes quiz and bonus points so it can be equal to or greater than "Perfect", but not less.

    Average is the average score in this column.  Blanks are counted as zeroes.

    NZ Average is the average value of the actual scores in this column, i.e., blanks are disregarded and have no effect on this average.

    N is the number of actual (non-blank) scores in this column.

Hot Pink Scores

        Occasionally (very rarely, we hope) homework scores are lost.  A student with a lost homework assignment may either resubmit the work (with no penalty for lateness) or simply take the average of his/her submitted homework scores as his/her score for the lost assignment.  Replacement scores obtained using this second option are displayed in hot pink.  (Students are responsible for reporting missing scores.  Your instructor has no way of knowing whether a blank on the score sheet indicates a lost score or simply [most cases] an assignment which was not submitted.)
