I've just posted your grades on Blackboard. TL;DR check them carefully. UPDATE - the lab grades did not get uploaded somehow. I'll fix that tonight.
You should see grades for each individual HW sets from 1-5, an average lab grade, and an average quiz grade. I've dropped 1 lab, 1 homework, and 2 quizzes (note that you took quiz 5 twice). Basically, this is everything you've turned in to date, except HW6 (which is still not counted late, so most of you haven't turned it in yet). Your overall average is a fair reflection of your grade going into the final.
Please pay special attention to the HW grades - particularly with email submissions, it is possible I've missed something. Make sure you have grades for all the HW sets you turned in, and that they match what you were handed back. Let me know if you have questions or want clarification.
The rocket competition counted for 2 labs. Out of three targets, you had 9 possible shots that counted (one practice shot per target). Here's how the grading worked:
Even if you didn't do that well in the competition, the grading was fairly generous. You all put in a lot of work leading up to the competition, and I didn't want to penalize any given group too badly for just having a bad day. Overall, we had 10 lab grades with one dropped, so there was not a lot of pressure to be honest. Tomorrow (Wed) I'll announce the winners of the competition.
Anyway: please check your grades carefully. In particular, if you have a zero for a homework set you know you turned in, let me know as soon as possible so we can figure out what happened.
