Grades - FINAL

Below are the Final Grades for the Fall 2012 Semester.  To know you grade, please refer to my syllabus.  If you did not pass my course (C- or below), you may take the course again in either the 3-week Winter Semester (starting this Wednesday, 12-12-12) or in the Summer of 2013.  I recommend that you take it in the 3-week Winter semester as the scale of the building will be more manageable due to the shortened semester.

Overall, I commend you all on a job well done and hope to see you all in the near future!

I will be leaving campus before the turn in time - can I leave it in your mailbox earlier in the day?
For the page that contains the introductory text about our building, the 300 word requirement occupies a small amount of the entire page if we use the same font and size of text throughout. Could we make the text itself bigger, or add a picture?
