---++Grading
   * Enter your grades at https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/fsc/servlets/SRVFSCFramework.  
   * An explanation as to what the percentage grades translate into in terms of letter grades can be found at http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,42,96,0.  
   * Grad students must have an average of 80% and at least 72% in each course for it to count for their breadth requirements (see http://www/grads/affairs/Handbook.pdf)
---++Other
   * There's a great set of resources for undergrad teaching at https://secweb.cs.ubc.ca/local/views/ta.shtml, including the great instructor manual at https://secweb.cs.ubc.ca/local/views/instructormanual/
   * You can use https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/fsc/servlets/SRVFSCFramework to give you a classlist for the classes you're teaching, or you can use the command "classlist [classnumber]" to give you a quasi-up-to-date listing.
   * There's a calendar of dates at http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/download/IDatesandDeadlines.pdf.  This calendar is *awful*.  Surely there exists a better one.  Does anyone know of a better one?
   * The AMS has a database of old exams from classes at http://www.ams.ubc.ca/exams/index.cfm?subject=CPSC.  Currently they only have exams from 315 and 430, but you may want to check there if you're planning on reusing things.
