so long, and thanks for all the doughnuts...

Hey there, folks.

Well, that's all she wrote. I hope that you learned a thing or two--and I hope that you will think twice about the world around you. Below are the grades (anonymous, of course), so that you can have a sense of how you did in relation to the rest of the class.

A few of you enjoyed the article that you had to read for the exam so much that you asked for a link to the other one. Here they are: "Generation Debt" and "Racism Rebooted."

As for the grades, here are most of them (there are a few stragglers). The grades are pretty much what I would have expected. For those who showed up and participated in class and on the blog, there were a lot of As, and a lot of lower grades for those who didn't participate in discussion or attend class. Because of this disparity, the averages for the final exam and for the final grade were, well, average.

The numbers are in this order of assignments:
notes 1/notes 2/notes 3/notes 4/participation/final exam=final grade.
So you should be able to see which grade is yours according to your speaking notes grades (if you've paid attention). The order isn't alphabetical.

15/15/15/14/14/24= 97
13/15/14/13/10/21= 86
12/15/0/13/8/21= 69
15/15/15/15/15/24= 99
14/14/15/15/15/23= 96
15/14/13/13/11/22= 88
16/0/16/15/15/25= 87

12/12/12/13/10/21= 80

Average Final Exam Grade: 21.39
Average Final Grade: 84

I'd like to thank you for a great class--you were the best (most engaging, thoughtful, and fun) group of students I've had in a while. Even with the stalkers.

Goodbye and good luck. Drop me a line to let me know how you're doing...
