Thursdays at 6 PM in Wayne County Center Computer Classroom

Last updated: 1/6/05

Thursday, January 6 at 7:15 AM: Looks as if the weather is cooperating, and that the Final Exam will be today, 6 - 9:40 PM in the Computer Classroom at the Wayne Country Center. I expect to be there about 5 PM for any last-minute reviewing that you want to do. Check Agenda 15 below for details on finishing up the work, if you are behind.

IMPORTANT!
  1. The Final Exam for this class is now scheduled for Thursday January 6, 6 - 9:40 PM, in the computer classroom at the Wayne County Center (normal day, time and place).
  2. If the Center is closed on Thursday (if the University is closed, the Center is normally also closed), the Final Exam will be the next day, Friday January 7, 6 - 9:40 PM, in the computer classroom at the Wayne County Center (normal time and place, different day).
  3. Normally, the University announces it is closed early in the morning, and it stays closed the whole day, including evening classes. HOWEVER, stay tuned for possible afternoon and evening openings during this time. Also, it is possible that the Center may stay open even if the University closes.
  4. Whichever day the Final is held, I will be on hand, if possible, from 5 - 6 PM beforehand, for last-minute review. You will also be able to turn work in up until the beginning of the exam. Work turned in later than that will count towards a later Change of Grade.
  5. If the University is closed both Thursday and Friday evenings, stay tuned for other arrangements.
  6. Watch your University email for messages from me. Contact me if you have any questions or comments.
  7. See the other important announcement in the separate box below.

 

IMPORTANT!
I had a disk crash on November 19, and lost your grade records for this class, all the way back to the graded work that I returned to you in class on November 3, November 11, and November 18. Therefore, turn this graded work back in so that I can record your grades again. This includes the Midterm. At each class and at the Final, there is a special folder, colored orange and labeled “DISK CRASH.” Please put this graded work in that folder, and normal work that you are turning in the normal “IN” folder. If you are unsure exactly which work to turn back in, better to be safe than sorry and turn in anything that you are unsure of. If want to check which work this is, use the online grade report, and turn in anything that you have gotten back, but for which there is no grade on the grade report. This work can be re-turned in at any time. You can also turn it in at the DIS office on the second floor of the A/AB building, 5700 Cass Avenue, on campus. To turn it in there, put all of the work in an envelope (available from office staff if necessary) and put it in my mailbox (ask the office staff where the mailboxes are).
