LEGEND:

HW1, HW2, ...  :  Homework 1, Homework 2, ...
    (How many homeworks there are may change up until the end of the semester.)
HWT            :  Homework total scaled to give 100 points maximum
EX1, EX2, ...  :  Exam 1, Exam 2, ...
FIN            :  Final exam
EXT            :  Exam total scaled to give 100 points maximum
SEM            :  Semester average (0.22*HWT+0.78*EXT)
MDL            :  Midterm letter grade
LET            :  Semester letter grade
NOTE: Official Loyola letter grades do include + and -, but Loyola does
not allow A+ or D-; if I show one of those, it is only informational.

If you see an entry of "NS" for one of your scores, that stands for
"no score", i.e., an assignment that has not been turned in.  It is
counted like a 0 in the computations of totals and averages (except in
exceptional circumstances where excuses have been granted, in which
case some of the formulas above may be adjusted).

NOTE: Points on individual components are not all comparable to one
another; for example homework points are different from exam points,
etc.  Homework total and exam total will be computed according to the
relative weights of subitems even if some are missing; the total
possible on an individual item will generally be omitted until the
grades are inserted so that semester average can still be computed on
a 100 point scale.  In case I slip up on this discipline, the possible
score for semester average could be less than 100.

it should display ok in web browsers expecting HTML or as plain text

wrapping.
