WebAssign grade pointage estimate

You can also estimate the pointage on your semester grade that you'll get from WebAssign. The maximum pointage, 28, will be assigned at the end of the semester, but if you want to estimate where it is right now, as if I were going to award grades today, you can look at the two new rows on you My Grades page in Webcourses:
The raw score is the same as that which you can see in WebAssign. It does not include points from the assignment for Oct. 23, though.

For the pointage on your semester grade, you just take the percentage, multiply &mult;28, then round up to the nearest integer. In the demo My Grades page above, the percentage is 108/120, 90%, which converts to 25.2 and rounds up to 26/28. So if I were giving grades today, the demo student would get 26 out of the possible 28 points on his semester grade from WebAssign homework.

Remember, this estimate is only temporary. We will have lots more WebAssign before December, but for now, this estimate will be useful.
