Current grade register snapshot...

[Subbarao Kambhampati <rao@asu.edu>]

Folks
  I am enclosing the snapshot of the current cumulatives--so that
you know your relative standing as well as check to make sure that 
all your marks have been properly entered.

Please note that the exact weights for various parts are subject to
change. As of now, I reckoned
21 pts for the three homeworks
20 pts for midterm
36 pts for all projects (includign the third+demo)
15 pts for the final homework+presentation
8   pts for participation

I am surely going to have second thoughts on the relative weights (and
you are welcome to express your views--either by mail or

The last column in blue titled relative percentage is just
relativized percentage of your current cumulative assuming the top
student in each
category determines 100%. 

The participation grade will be determined from your attendance, class
questions and blog participation (you will be filling a data sheet
tomorrow--
that will ask you to estimate the number of classes you missed, the
number of times you may have asked/answered questions in the class, and
the
number of times you wrote a discussion response on the blog--not counting
the times you were required to post your reviews).
