I have updated your grades on Moodle, which includes all work to date excepting the assessment results (giving you bonus quiz points) and the papers (giving you 2 new homework grades). Both of those should be up tomorrow.
One thing to note that is new: the individual quiz grades have now all been scaled upward to ensure an average of 75% on every quiz. That means basically you can add the following number of points to each quiz:
Quiz 1: 24
Quiz 2: 9.4
Quiz 3: 15
Quiz 4: 15.5
Quiz 5: 0
Quiz 6: 11.8
Quiz 7: 6.6
Quiz 8: 0
So, take your raw percentage score from each quiz, and add the requisite number of points listed above. Quizzes with "0" listed mean that the average was already more than 75% for that quiz. The quiz averages have tended to be fairly low so far, so I have scaled them all upward to compare more favorably to the other components of your grades (HW, Exams, etc), which all have class averages in the 70-80% range.
Anyway: check your grades carefully, to make sure I am not missing anything, and to find any errors. We have done our best to make sure everything is correct, but mistakes can happen.
Finally: this affects only a few of you, but the grading software will not deal with percentages over 100%. If you scored over 100% on the last exam due to bonus points, your exam score has been rounded to 100%, and your overall grade in Moodle will be slightly lower than what it actually is. I will give you detailed grade reports on Wednesday that will not suffer from this problem.
