Grading Breakdown

For those who want to calculate how they're doing so far, here's the approximate weighting of assignments for the course (from the revised syllabus published early in the semester). I have added one further revision, breaking the 40% for the midterm and final into 15% for the midterm and 25% for the final. This gives everyone a greater chance to improve, and enough of you have been getting better at logic in recent weeks that this adjustment may help to ensure that your final grade is an accurate reflection of your learning.

Quizzes: 10%
Essay: 25%
Midterm 15%
Blogs/second essay: 25%
final: 25%

Final Exam Review

For all those interested, we will meet at 10 am in Bowman 211 on Thursday (reading day) to answer questions and do problems.
