Track YOUR Grades

On Thursday in class, students used the following Excel Spreadsheet to track their grades for the six weeks. We will be using this in class every Friday so students are keeping track of their grades and how certain assignments affect their grades. It would be a great exercise to practice at home as well. You can log onto HAC and get the latest and greatest grades to input into this spreadsheet. Let me know if you experience difficulty or have other questions. Feel free to leave a comment and I can respond!
