a. Finals have been graded. Your letter grades are now
available on BB and I have already "rolled" them into the database
of the Office of Records (Registrar - visible in BU Brain).
b. There have been requests for extra credit work from some of you
who wish they would have obtained a better grade.
Sorry folks, but that is not possible.
c. It is my sincere wish that what you have learned in this class
will be of use to you during your academic and professional careers.
Good luck and a wonderful summer to you all!
