I have added a mandatory Rules Consent Form to be submitted from the main website.

IMPORTANT END-OF-THE-SEMESTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

Read ALL of these, and act on all that apply to you.

1. You may opt to retake whichever lecture examination you scored lowest on, and if you opt to retake it, doing so can not hurt you. If you score higher the second time, I'll replace your original score. If you do not score higher, nothing will change. You will take the retake immediately upon submitting Examination 6, and the retake will be multiple-choice.

2. If you know that you will not be opting for the retake, it would be cool to let me know now, just to save a bit of paper.

3. If two or more lecture examinations are tied for your lowest scores, you must tell me which test you prefer to retake. Otherwise, I'll choose one.

4. The Final Examination will be given on 11 May at 4:00 pm (NOT 5:30). It will be given in the usual lecture room.

5. If you missed a lecture examination, you need to complete your make-up examination(s) by 13 May. If you complete a make-up examination before 11 May AND if that is your lowest test score, you may opt for the multiple-choice retake of that examination.

6. If you need to take a make-up examination, you must contact me and tell me whether you need to take it in my presence (in which case you'll need to make an appointment with me) or whether I should leave the test in the Testing Center, where you can take it any time they are open (as long as it's by 13 May).

7. If you look at or touch Lecture Examination 6, then you will NOT be allowed to withdraw (and you will receive a letter grade, which will affect your GPA). If you choose to withdraw before Examination 6, please let me know. A withdrawal will appear as a W on your transcript, but it will not affect your GPA. It is your responsibility to check the class standings to see what score will be required for you to get your desired grade.

Many thanks to all of you who sent condolences. I appreciate it, and so does Edna, Gertie's surviving litter-mate sister.

I'm sorry that there are still scores that need to be posted, but I had to kill my dog today, and that has put me out of the grading state of mind. I'll post them soon, though (for those with complete peer reviews).

I've updated the scores. Many scores are missing for the presentation, because the following people did not submit scores for their group members:


I'll be unavailable much of the rest of the weekend. But I'm not the one to complain to about a missing score, anyway. Contact your delinquent group member. Enjoy the weekend.
