Below are the files necessary to run the gradesheet program developed for the TCU Introductory Astronomy laboratories by Raymond (Robin) Kinzer between 2003 and 2009. The text of this page and the text of the pages of the program were not edited with spell check, so be aware of such possibilities.

The file names are links to the appropriate content. A brief description of the file/link is included on the following line.

Important Notes:

• The labcommon.js file is a file in the /scripts directory which will supply information such as lab dates, web links to the syllabus, course number, etc. A generic file is available in the jslabs.zip package. An updated or completed one for the semester will be available below. In the future, this file may need to be changed by the TA (or one TA who distributes it to the others).
• After you have installed the "program" on your computer(s), you will need to come back to this page and download the appropriate labcommon.js file for this semester to your files. The file that you download from below MUST be saved at any place you use or "install" the gradesheet "program" in the /scripts directory as labcommon.js (not fa07-labcommon.js, et al. as these names are just for my recordkeeping). If you do this successfully, it should be apparent at the top of the web page.
• The above procedures will be used for each semester starting Fall 2007.
• Supplemental labs for Fall 2007 (and possibly subsequent semesters) will not be made available until later because I have not yet found out what the supplemental lab exercises will be. An update to labcommon.js will be made available when I find out this information. This may apply in future semesters.
• You will need to check the labcommon.js file for this semester to see what the indexes are for the grades. (for example, to see which lab is grade 12 or 7 or 14, etc.) I will try to post that information here as well, or send a note.
