Dear students,

I have just finished grading your Exam 1s. You all did quite well. When you look at your grade, note that it is calculated out of 80 and not 100. Once you have checked your Exam 1 grade on Blackboard, I would like you to check your other grades. I have graded Short Assignment 1 and discussion forums 1-5. If you notice a grade is missing for any assignment, please let me know.

I have recorded a short video explaining Short Assignment 2. Please take a look and let me know if you need any assistance or further clarification. Short Assignment 2 is due October 16th.

Dear students,

Your first exam has just been posted. Head over to Blackboard to check it out. Here is a video I created to go over the exam. Email me if you have any questions.
