Second question from a student about conversion of grades (0-50) to

UVM grades (0-4.0).  OOPs..... it seems at least these 2 students are

into graphs and slopes and intercepts, etc. and found an inconsistency

in the conversion equation.... SO I posted the equation we should be

using on the WEB page... just under the place where you click to

see your grade.  slope = 0.2,  intercept = -5.5.  You will also note

that I truncate negative grades and let those over 4.0 remain (however,

the final grade cannot go over 4.0 (something about the UVM computer

program I guess).  I believe quiz 1 converts a bit higher than the

given equation... so I'll leave it.  quiz 2 needs a little adjustment.

Sorry....

GOOD EYE.... keep up the good work.
