Important info for DE Students in Section 601.
Students enrolled in Section 601 should schedule the final exam ASAP (for April 29 or 30). Otherwise you may not find an open time slot at DE Proctoring Service.
John Pugh at the DE Proctoring Service asked me to pass along the following information (their generic student info for taking finals at DE Proctoring).
John Pugh at the DE Proctoring Service asked me to pass along the following information (their generic student info for taking finals at DE Proctoring).
All,
Here is some important information concerning Final Exam proctoring with the DELTA Testing Center.
Scheduling
Students are strongly encouraged to schedule there exams ASAP if you have not already done so. Appointments are on a first-come, first served basis, and students should be aware that there are NO WALK-IN APPOINTMENTS. Students should schedule their appointments online like usual, using the directions found on the Local Proctor Page: http://distance.ncsu.edu/students/localproctor.html
Additional Locations for Finals Proctoring
There are three locations where students can take their tests: The Main DELTA Testing Center (Venture IV, Suite 140,) the DELTA Overflow Room (Venture III, Suite 267 ? in the conference room), and (for CH 221/223 students only) DH Hill Library ITTC Lab I. Venture III and Venture IV are located next to each other, and parking should be available at the Venture Parking Deck as usual.
Here is a map of Centennial Campus
http://www.ncsu.edu/campus_map/centennial.htm
Choosing a Location
When you log into the online scheduling system, it defaults to the Main DELTA Center in Venture IV. (This is where all exams this semester have been proctored so far this semester.) If there are no available slots there, pull down the DELTA Overflow Room location from the drop-down menu and schedule your exam there. Note that the Overflow room will be open 4/28 ? 5/2, and has two appointment times at 9am and 1pm. The DH Hill Library ITTC Lab 1 location is ONLY for CH 221/223 students.
Extended Hours during Finals
We?ll be open 8am-8pm, from 4/48 ? 5/1 (Mon ?Thurs). Friday (5/2) hours will be 8am-5pm, and we?ll also be opening the main DELTA Testing Center on Saturday, 5/3, for one session beginning at 9am. We?ll go back to our regular office hours on Monday, 5/5.
That?s about it. Again, schedule your exams ASAP, as appointment times are going quickly, and some time slots have already filled up.
Regards,
-John Pugh

Time of final exam.
The "choose time" WebAssignment for the final exam is now available. You should go ahead and make your exam time choice. Notice that there has been a slight change in the time that has previously been shown on the Test Info page at the class website. This change was required because we are unable to get access to the room until 4:00 PM on April 29. If you are in Section 005 and have a conflict that makes it impossible for you to attend either of the exam sessions on April 29 in HA G108, contact Dr. Page or Jennifer before April 22 to make other arrangements.

Grade Info Updated.
The grade information that WebAssign now shows is accurate for students who have completed Test #3. If you have NOT completed all three tests, your test average will not display correctly until you have completed Test #3. The present grade display bases your estimated grade 50% on homework average and 50% on the average of your three test grades. Remember that your final grade will be calculated according to the formula shown on the Grades Info page at the class web site.
The average test score for students who took the test last night in Harrelson Hall was 73.

Stats on Test #2.
Pretty much everyone has completed Test #2 by now. A total of 131 students have taken this test, and the class average is 78.1. That is consistent with past experience on the 2nd test of the semester. Test #3 will be here before you know it, so get off to a quick start in Part 5.

Grades.
The grade information within WebAssign (under the grades tab) has been updated to include Test #2. So your estimated grade (based 50% on HW and 50% on the two tests) is now correct based on your work done so far provided you have completed Test #2. If you have not yet taken the test, your present grade shown is incorrect, but it will become correct on the day after you take the test.

Grades Information.
The view of your average grade in WebAssign has been closed until Test #2 is completed. The reason is as usual, i.e. to prevent the display of inaccurate information while test week is in progress.

Special note to Section 601 students.
John Pugh at DE Proctoring tells me that only 14 of you (in Section 601) have reserved a time for the test next week. Remember, next week is a short week because Friday is a holiday. Don't get caught in a pickle by sitting back while next week's slots all fill up leaving you with no way to do the test. SIGN UP NOW!

Progress Reports.
Academic Progress Reports were sent in today for all students who currently have an overall average of D+ or below at this point. This is based on the information provided under the grades tab in WebAssign. If you received a report and question why you received it, look at the grades information that WebAssign provides. If you have further questions, contact me or Jennifer.

Choose Time for Test #2.
Your "Choose Time for Test #2" WebAssignment is now listed among your current WebAssignments. As usual it's a good idea to nail down your test time well in advance. Students in Section 005 should go ahead and pick one of the test times in Harrelson on March 18. Students in Section 601 should make a reservation at DE Proctoring for the period March 18 - 24 and indicate on the "Choose Time" WebAssignment that you've completed that step. Making your reservation at DE Proctoring well in advance will give you a better choice of times. So go ahead and do it.

Quiet Period.
Things have been quiet lately. But remember that spring break is only 9 days away, and after spring break the next test will be here before you know it. So the best advice is the usual advice, i.e. stay ahead of the game and get your homework done before the last minute. The course changes a good bit as we move from Part 3 into Part 4. Techniques become much less computational, but more thinking is required. So you'll be using your brain more and computing tools (such as the row operations tool) much less. We won't be touching base with matrices again until Part 6. But it's certainly not a good time to be resting on your laurels. Parts 4 and 5 generally provide students with the most significant challenge that this class has to offer.

Test Results.
Congratulations to everyone for a smoothly run test this week. With only a few students remaining to take the test, we have an average score of 85.2 compiled by the 114 students who have already completed it.
The grades module of WebAssign has been updated to include test grades. Presently your estimated grade in WebAssign is calculated based 50% on your homework average and 50% on Test #1. When you consult your grade in WebAssign you'll see something like the picture shown here.
The student whose info is shown has a 99.47 average on the 16 homework assignments completed so far, and a test score of 82 on Test #1. The reason for the "(3)" showing in the Test row is that 3 versions of the test were used, but obviously the student is graded on only the version completed by that student. You can click each of these numbers to get details on the calculation, but if you do that bear in mind that each student has only one test grade counted, so that makes the display a bit complicated.
