           Congratulations to talyway0608, our winner!  Please identify yourself in class on Wednesday and claim your prize.   Both talyway0608 and our second place finisher,
           BritaHarris, finished in the top 1% of all entrants and are automatically entered in the national drawing which will be conducted on April 5, to determine the national grand
           prize winner of a $10000 gift card.

  (19) The construction in the ESC is progressing more slowly than anticipated.  Therefore, we will remain displaced in 132 SNLB for the last two regular class periods of the
           semester.  Construction, if it is still going on, will be interrupted for the final exams, so our final will be in C247 ESC, our normal classroom.

(20) The final exam scores are now posted on the grade spreadsheet.  There are a very few points still to be added to the exhibited scores, due to some late work which I accepted.
          Your course grades are not yet shown.  What you see are guaranteed minimum grades.  Many of you will receive higher grades than what you see.  No one will receive lower.
          If I have not credited you with all the points you earned, please let me know immediately.

(21) The grade spreadsheet has been updated.  The posted grades are now the official course grades.  Unless there are errors, there will be no further changes.  (April 20, 2012)
