Almost halfway through the semester.

Knowing that midterms were coming up, I decided to fix my Excel spreadsheet so that it would automatically calculate the averages of my students. It’s something I had been meaning to do for a while, but I kept putting it off. I decided to go ahead and fill in 0’s for all the assignments that hadn’t been turned in. When I started putting in those 0’s, some of the students’ averages starting going down pretty drastically.

Oh well. It’s their fault for not doing their work. It was interesting seeing the new averages take shape. I’m not saying it was fun. I’m just saying it was interesting the way the math worked out. Surprisingly, I felt no remorse for doing that.
