  • Final grades were submitted to Blackboard at 7:00 AM on Thursday, May 16th.
  • Special Note about final grades: The grade that you received is the grade that you earned as per the syllabus.  It is possible that the grade that you earned is different from the grade that you wanted, the grade that YOU thought you deserved, the grade that you needed so that you wouldn't get in trouble, etc.  Do not contact me asking for a grade change unless you can provide definitive mathematical proof that I made an error in calculating the grade that you earned (as per the syllabus).  The semester is over, so do not contact me asking for special considerations, extra credit projects, etc. as I will not respond kindly to such requests.
  • Have a GREAT summer break!  Be safe and stay healthy!  Good luck in your future studies!
