Blackboard MyGrades Cleanup

Until someone pointed it out to me in class today, I didn’t realize that there were quite a few leftover grade columns visible in the students “My Grades” view. I had hidden those long ago in the instructors view, and had no idea that they were still there from the students’ view. So hopefully it’s easier to see now where you are in class.

Grades on Blackboard Updated

I’ve updated the grades on Blackboard, and they now contain the KB Nugget scores for those of you who have already done their presentations. If you did your presentation on Jan 20 or earlier, you can add 10% to that score; for Jan 25, add 5%; there’s no easy way to do this in Blackboard that I’m aware of, but I have it in my grading spreadsheet.
Also available are the A2 scores. I’m still working on the project documentation scores.

Blackboard Available: KB Nugget Signup, Survey

Blackboard is now available for the 481 course. We will use it for the following:
- scheduling and repository for KB Nugget presentations (see AI-KB-Wiki on Blackboard),
- assignment submission,
- quizzes,
- possibly some course materials that I can’t put on my public course Web site.

Please take the survey under “Surveys and Quizzes”. It is not graded; I use it to get a better impression about the background of the students, and also to get you familiarized with the way the quizzes will be done.
If you’ve already selected a topic for your KB Nugget presentation, you can sign up on Blackboard. Throughout next week (Week 3), those students with topics selected will be able to sign up; if you haven’t made up your mind yet, you’ll have to wait until Week 4.
