  • Thursday, 5/4/06 - Grades have been submitted. It may take some time before they appear on MyInfo. Note: unless you showed significant improvement on the final exam, your grade was assigned based on the total number of points accumulated during the semester. Please refer to the syllabus for the cut-offs for each grade (A, A-, B+, etc.).

    Want your final back? If you would like your final exam back, please leave a self-addressed stamped envelope on my desk at MSU (Wil 2-232) before Friday, May 12 (slip it under the door with a note addressing it to me if the door is locked). If you have already left town, you may instead choose to mail the self-addressed stamped envelope (inside ANOTHER envelope) to me at the address listed below. Please do so soon, as I no longer officially work at the university and will soon be asked to clear out my desk.

  • Tuesday, 2/14/06 - Counting on Frank. The book excerpt I gave you in class today is called Counting on Frank, by Rod Clement. Check it out at Amazon.com. I'll certainly be getting myself a copy to read to my kids! (Once we have kids, that is...)

  • Thursday, 1/12/06 The point breakdown for the course looks something like the following. (It is not a perfect representation due to rounding and the one dropped lab, but it's close.)
