Grades

Don't panic if you see the grades change temporarily today--some of the assignments need to "move" as they adjust the grading process over the weekend. For example, if your average went down, it's most likely because the research paper was moved to an "extra-credit" score as it was due after we left school. IF you completed it, you'll get the points back after they adjust Infinite Campus over the weekend. Also, many of you had credit due from reading in Caesar, etc. that I had to add in where you needed it---

As always, please email me with any concerns about your grade.
