CISM 4135, Spring 2008: calendar

End of semester deadlines:

All submissions, except the final exam, were due by Tue, Apr 29, 2008. No exceptions.
All grading was done and published by Fri, May 02, 2008. There was a notice here when that was done.
You should then login and inspect all of your published scores.
All scoring issues are due by Fri, May 02, 2008. Your clearly stated and specific scoring issue issues must be submitted under "Submit Text" for requirement I1. Only one issue per submission. Any issue after the first issue on any submission will be ignored. Scoring issues that are ambiguous and/or unclear will be ignored. No exceptions.
I expect to have all issues resolved by Sat, May 03, 2008 and the grade you earned in the course determined by then. A notice will appear here when this has been done.

Please do not contact me if you fail to make a submission properly by the deadline or if you fail to properly report a scoring issue. It may happen that scoring issues that will have no impact on your final letter grade may not be resolved to your satisfaction. Thank you. Dr. Snyder.
