Hi Everyone. Micro 240 for Spring 2006 is now over. All assignments should be in. All grades have been posted and I will be dropping the 3 lowest lab and lecture quizzes, as well as one lab. The grades will probably stay pretty much the same. Good luck Nick Final Grades will be posted to the college June 2nd at 8pm. Nick
Good luck and have a wonderful summer. |
