Students who failed to take the first midterm and did not make it up on the 11th will receive a 0 (F-minus) score for that exam. However, makeups for the second midterm will be available, as stated in the syllabus, on the evening of the Final (December 16). http://cseligman.com/announce.htm#0911112000 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:10:00 PDT Although I hope that everyone who is still attending class will successfully complete the course, students who are in danger of failing should consider withdrawing on or before the drop deadline (November 22). To that end, I will point out the deadline at the November 18 meeting, and send an email reminder to anyone who misses class on the 11th or the 18th. http://cseligman.com/announce.htm#0911111010 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:38:00 PDT "Any statement that based on a new interpretation of ancient writings, some sort of disaster will occur on such-and-such a date is always utter rubbish. It is just as likely, and equally believable, that tomorrow morning a gigantic dragon will suddenly appear out of thin air, gobble up the Earth, and spit out the seeds. All such tales prove is that some people (namely, those who make up this junk, or promote it in the media) will do anything to make a buck." http://cseligman.com/announce.htm#0908190438
