Final Grades

I have finished grading your finals and putting your grades into the spreadsheet.  There are several people who were absent but did not give me excuse forms.  This is seriously affecting several people's final average.  Can you please get me your excuse forms ASAP so that I can post grades when it opens up for the final semester averages?  Thanks!

Great job on Friday.  Thanks for all your hard work and commitment to the class.  It showed.
