New: grades expressed as points on WebCT

I know that my system of weighted averages doesn't get communicated very easily with the WebCT grade book. To make this more transparent, I've translated the percentages into points. I increased the weight of the 6 book essays by 5% so we could keep the 100 point scale i've been using for those assignments. Participation and the Set-up Assignment yielded those extra points.
I've updated the WebCT gradebook to reflect this new system. We're reading 8 books and you're only writing on 6 of them, as you know. But I was too lazy to write a formula that would drop the two lowest paper grades, so the "cumulative" point total says there are "1,200" available points. That isn't correct; the total possible points is still 1,000. If you want to write on all 8 books [or do a Google Earth project] we can just drop the lowest grades by hand.
Let me know if you have questions!

Participation; assessed 3 times @ 40 points each	12%	120
“Set-up” assignment	8%	80
6 book essays worth 100 points each	60%	600
Final essay	20%	200
TOTAL	100%	1000
