Grades Have Been Upload Into Moodle

This includes the last Excel homework on the Shapiro-Stiglitz model, the Blog Posts Second Half, and the Comments Second Half. 

Here is some information about how the scores were determined.  There were 6 posts in the second half.  (I had originally planned for 7).  On the Comments, everyone got 8 points for free and then I simply counted how many posts you commented on and multiplied that by 7.  If you made more than one comment on your post, I didn't count it here.  However, I did account for it in the scores on the posts themselves.

For that, each person got 30 points for free.  Most people did all the rest of the posts.  Then I made a qualitative determination on your performance based on the posts and the comments and whether you seemed to incorporate my comments.  There is no algorithm here, just my subjective interpretation.  I'm something of a strict grader on this, so nobody got 210 points.  Indeed nobody got 200 points.  A score of 190 was quite a good performance.  I save the remaining performance because all of you can do still better.

There are comments to accompany the points.  For those who missed some posts, the comments may have referred to that rather than to your general performance

Finally - if any of you want to become a professor some day, note that it is a nice job most of the time, but on days like this the job doesn't pay enough.
