Re:   Revised Grading method for whole course

Thank you to those of you who have provided email questions and input following
our Exam-3 of last Tuesday night.

No, there are no provisions for "Extra Credit."

Instead, I have changed my mind about my grading scheme for the whole course.

I will grade the course using your BEST THREE EXAMS out of the four given.

This means there will be 300 points maximum for the best three exams. 

I will be grading Exam-3 and posting the grades to WebCT on Friday (tomorrow)
or next Monday.

I strongly prefer to not give make-ups for Exam-3 and 4.  A make-up would have
to be specially created, just for you.  If you like essays with diagrams to
sketch and label, then maybe it is for you.  Otherwise, not doing a makeup can
be your exam which is not counted in the grading for the course, the one of
the four that is dropped from the course grading.

Another item:  Please check your Final Exam schedule to see if you have a specific
conflict with our Exam-4, which is at SEVEN PEE EM on MONDAY, MAY 13.
