Final Scores

Well, not completely final, since I need to doublecheck the numbers. I was careful to replace excused _1 quiz scores by the averages of the other quiz scores before computing the totals. See the grades page for some details, including a graph of the distribution. It's pretty clear there are a few very high scores (A+) and a couple of low scores (C range).

Project Grades

Here's my preliminary scoring of the projects. Some of these projects are really excellent efforts. I wish I could bend the rules and make scores higher for some "extra" features, but since the categories were previously fixed for the scoring, I'll stick to that.

Project Web Pages

I've just spent the morning revamping the projects list to contain pointers to everyone's project web page (at least I think I got everyone's page).

Project Grading

Using the grading guidelines, I am now going through my notes from the project demonstrations and looking over the web pages and diaries to evaluate the various components.

Although I will be able to assign points, I haven't found a good way to privately also make comments about the project evaluations. In some cases, I think the project effort is excellent and the result very nice, but there is not enough attention to diaries, networking aspects, and so on --- so the scores will be lower in such cases.

In Japan

I'm in Japan today. I hope everyone has no trouble making their project web pages!

Exam 3

Examination 3 is graded. This time, scores are lower, reflecting the fact that students are concentrating on projects --- as they should --- instead of studying for an examination, which contributes less to the final grade than working on projects. Projects are more important!

Multicast

My next lecture covers Section 4.4 of the textbook, which introduces some protocols for multicast routing. This link to a document at 3com can be a helpful supplement to the textbook.
