Grade Estimator Spreadsheet
I have created a spreadsheet you can use to estimate your grade in the class. This is provided with a caveat - while everything looks like it lines up with the policies outlined on the course webpage, I can't guarantee that there isn't a small difference that I missed. In the case of any conflict / bug / inconsistency, the policies outlined on the website take precedence. If you do find a bug or something that seems incorrect, please send me an email and I'll look into it!
In short, the spreadsheet should be correct, but if there are any minor inconsistencies between it and the grading policy webpage, the webpage wins out.
Exams: The CBTF is using a different website for registration this summer. You can register for the exam at https://www.prairietest.org/. If you have trouble registering, please send me an email and I will investigate the situation.
