You have very likely just received a Trimester Grade Report. Don't like what you see and want to change it? Do like what you see and want more? Want to know what the person who generated the reports went through to make it so organized? Just by chance it is time to start our own Grades Project. You will begin by reverse engineering the table and the data that the report shows. In a second step, likely starting Monday, we will add the formulas that will automatically calculate cumulative grades and trimester averages. Keep track of that paper, because you will want to use your own data.

Those polynomials are due today for on time arrival. Many turned them in yesterday for early arrival. If you are not very close to being finished, you should consider the ketchup plan. If you have been absent recently and want to avoid accidentally losing points, include a description of your recent absences when you turn in the polynomials project. The rule of thumb is one half extra day for every day absent from school but then rounded up to the nearest full day. Absences from class in order to attend student hours may be different.
