Final Attendance, Comments, Exam, and Semester Grades (Gong xi fa cai!)

Students,

    HERE'S A RECORD of your final grades in all areas of your class. Look them over carefully and notify me promptly if you see a problem.
    I have opened up a Messenger (MSN) chat address
(rdca25@hotmail.com) for those who wish to communicate with me in this way.
    Students who missed more than 3 assignments did not benefit from the four-point class curve.
    Your class comments on Li'l Abner were an improvement over your previous film comments, focusing more on specific cinematic issues rather than general emotional engagement with the film. This has its place, of course, but does not show involvement with technical issues discussed in your textbook and class handouts and lectures.
    I should advise you that, from what I understand, student passwords for their email accounts have been changed, so you will have to change passwords in order to access your email. As I understand, there's a discussion of this on the student BBS. But you should make certain of the problem, the nature of the problem, of even if there is a problem, before you take action.
