Your final grade is determined mathematically. Add all the points you earned this semester and divide it by all the points you could have earned.
5 tests at 50 points, the midterm and final at 100 points each. Network assignment was 35 points for turning it in. That’s 485 points total.
Not happy with your grade? Did you do the papers correctly? Did you turn everything in on time? I waited until 3pm today (Tues, May 5th 2009) –that a whole 24 hours extra–before entering grades, in case someone handed in their final LATE. Deadline was yesterday at 2:40.
If you are looking to contest your grade you must have valid reason to do so–please consider that before contacting me. Otherwise, have a great summer.
The rest of the test will be the usual multiple choice and true/false mix. I have broken the study guide into chapters. This test relies a lot on the notes we took, since some of that information is not the same as the text. Click on Keep Reading for the Study Guide and Take Home Essay!! Keep reading →

And last but not least, cable and phone comanies are trying to get your business by having more community news channels. Do we need more local news, other than what’s already covered? Do we need a station just for 24 hour local news and weather? What does that implications might that have for the quality of the news? (sorry no link for this story)
