The overall score so far is not a running total of the points earned in the course. Rather, it is an estimate of what your final score, out of 1000 points, would be if you continued to perform at the same level. This means that if you have received perfect scores on all work so far, your overall score so far would be 1000, and if you have received 50% scores on all work so far, your overall score so far would be 500.
Here is the distribution of overall course scores so far, on a 1000-point scale. These scores are based on lecture participation (two lowest scores dropped), prelab participation (lowest score dropped), discussion participation (lowest score will be dropped prior to calculation the final course score), all five quizzes (lowest score dropped), and the first six labs. Your overall score so far is available on Blackboard. There will be no further updates to the overall score so far.
Overall score so far: The average overall score so far, after quiz 5, is 820./1000 = 82.0%; the high score was 986/1000 = 98.6%; 687 overall scores are shown. Last updated Tuesday, December 10, 2019 11:58:45.
