Total should be the sum of the other five columns, though there may be a round off error of a point or two. QT was the result of a laborious process of dropping the lowest 30 points' worth of quizzes: there were one or two cases where the third lowest quiz was a 20-pointer, so I had to drop just half of it. HW150: The homework total was 115 (21 assignments x 5 points + 10 for Numera Fair), so for this I multiplied the homework total by 150/115.
What matters is not the grade. (The only person who got less than a C- and took the final ended up failing by a long distance.) What matters is what you learned about teaching math, and what you learned about yourself. Thing #1 should be: Don't teach your kids that math is dull or too hard. Just don't.
Have a good Christmas and make a kid happy.

Explanation: Please read this!! Oh, man. Yet another uniquely great class. Yet again, four or five of you racing up Everest for the mythical A+. What a privilege it was to teach you guys.
A few of these grades may change because I haven't totally shut the door on rewrites yet. That door shuts on Friday!
As I said at the end of the test: Have a great Christmas. Play. Be safe. Make a kid happy. And most of all, thanks.
