Some online versions of handouts are in the Portable Document File format and require a special reader. You probably already have a PDF viewer installed on your system. If not, some PDF viewers include GSView and Adobe Reader (previously known as Acrobat Reader). These programs are included on the Duckware CD.

• I’ve posted your quiz score, homework score, and two midterm exam scores on Blackboard. To calculate your grade going into the final:
  1. Log into Blackboard:
     1. Point your browser to https://blackboard.uoregon.edu/webapps/login/
     2. Your username is your UO email address (for example, cphan@uoregon.edu).
     3. Your password is your UO email password.
     4. Click “Login”.
  2. Click on “View Grades” (under “Tools”).
  3. Click on “MATH 241 (Summer 2007; 41176), Calc Bus & Soc Sci I”.
  4. Remember, the scores are weighted as follows (as specified in the syllabus):
     • Homework: 10%
     • Quizzes: 20%
     • Midterm Exam I: 20%
     • Midterm Exam II: 20%
     • Final Exam: 30%
     Of course, you don’t have a final exam score yet. One assumption you might make is that your final exam score will be the average of your midterm scores.
