Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Just a few more tidbits to discuss about the term that just ended.

First of all, I gave a make up final exam to one of the three students in Introduction to Robotics who were not there during the two test sessions that have been set up.

But I was not in the faculty room during the time that the student was making his excuse letter (I asked him to make one to explain why he was not there during the scheduled exam) and I gave the questionnaire to an English teacher who was in the reception area, even joking that she can deny him his test if there was even one grammatical error in his handwritten letter of "excuse".

His test, by the way, was the same as the one I gave during the second day, for which I had several extra print outs from the first take.

The other two students who did not take the exam I never saw hanging around the fauclty room during that week like the first one. In fact, both of them did not even take the first test near the start of the term nor show up regularly in our classes, so I'm assuming that they are in that limbo between intending to drop the subject and not caring if it shows up as a zero-point-zero in their transcript of records.

The second make up exam I gave was actually a removal test, given to only one student in my general science mechanics lab class, since when I computed their final standings before the exam week finished, he was the only one whose percentage was within the range I gave, between fifty and fifty nine.

And by a stroke of luck he also contacted me by text message one night before the finals week ended, so I told him about his opportunity to increase his grade.

But what happened during the day of his test was another story altogether, becuase Mr. Ephraim was also there, suddenly assuming that he was going to take the removal test despite the fact that I did not inform him about it.

I will discuss that more next time.

Session 1089 was not within the range. Class dismissed.
