The final grades are now posted. Generally the class did well on the final exam, which is a great way to end the quarter. I enjoyed teaching you this quarter and appreciated particularly the good questions and comments.
Next quarter we will be using the campus web page service, WebCT. It is currently scheduled that you will be able to get a copy of the 100B syllabus and course outline there on or about Dec. 20.
I wish you and your families a good holiday and a great New Year.
