Semester Grade Note

In response to numerous emails I've received, I thought I would clarify the warm-up notebook extra credit. The warm-ups are intended to give you that "boost" to the next grade level if you can get within 2% of where you want to be. They are, thus, only entered if they can affect your letter grade in some way (by bring a B- to a B or an 89% to a %90). If you have an "X" for that assignment, it is because your letter grade would stay exactly the same whether the warm-ups are entered or not. Hope that helps to clarify!
