Final course grades have been submitted. They are available (or will be after an unknown delay, depending upon how quickly the University updates things) from either Testudo, or MyUMD. Please do not email the instructional staff asking what your grade is; just check Testudo or MyUMD later, as they will be available there.

A few statistics about grades will be posted here in a day or two, so check back then if interested.

  2. Just FYI, the averages you see for coursework in the ELMS gradebook are not really accurate, because they include students who didn't do the coursework.  For example, the Quiz #5 average shows as 29.75, but when you exclude the students who didn't show up to take the quiz, the real average is actually 34.8 (a very good result).  So in looking at the grade statistics, just keep in mind that the results on coursework are generally better than they appear.

November 29

Exam #2 solutions are posted (hopefully no typos).

New problems #1 (d) through (h) have been added to the second set of grammar practice problems.

As mentioned in lecture, this Friday afternoon the regular 3-5 office hours will be 2-4 instead.

There was a mistake in the posted office hours handout that has been corrected; if you copied or printed the PDF please do so again (so you don't show up to office hours at a time that is actually incorrect).
