Subject: A114 Final Update: Grades and Evals 


Dear A114 Friends,

Final grades have been calculated about a week ago and I would like to
ask that you please verify them one more time before we send them over
to the Office of the Registrar. If there's anything we need to fix I'd
appreciate being notified as soon as possible.

There will be one more way to collect an extra point, which is by
turning in an evaluation for this course with the CSCI Department.
The CSCI Dept. is collecting course and instructor evaluations for
all classes and A114 (and by extension I111) is one of them. Included
are instructions on how you can submit your evaluation for A114/I111.
You must submit your evaluation before Wed Dec 18 (tomorrow) at noon
so I can include the bonus point. It doesn't matter what you write in
your evaluation: as long as you turn it in you get one extra point at
your final grade.) I will receive a summary of usernames for those that
have submitted an evaluation on Dec 18 at 4pm so I can use the list to
add a bonus point. Please let me know if you have any questions. Here
are the instructions, as promised:

  1. Go to the following website:  http://www.indiana.edu/~best/

  2. Under "QuizSite", choose STUDENTS

  3. From the drop-down box, choose/instructor to be evaluated
                           (example: CSCI-A114-dgerman)

  4. Click PROCEED

  5. Check "DO A CURRENT ACTIVITY" (Should say "Evaluation")

  6. Click PROCEED
     Evaluation for requested instructor should be displayed

  7. Answer Questions

  8. To submit completed evaluation, click PROCEED at bottom of page
     Then wait.

     If student has multiple CS courses or course instructors, they will
     be enabled at that time to click SELECT ANOTHER COURSE button

     Please Note - Students are allowed a max 3 attempts to complete each
     evaluation.  (They will be enabled to open each individual evaluation
     3 times, whether or not they make any additions or changes.)

Please help the department (and us) improve this class by describing
what you liked and what you didn't like in the class. We thank you for
your participation and for your interest in A114 and I111. Should you
have any questions whatsoever please let us know.

Sincerely,
Adrian German, for CSCI A114/I111 Fall 2002

Subject: A114/I111 Letter Grades


Dear A114/I111 Friends,

I have posted final grades and letter grades for A114/I111 in
Post'em just now. Please check your grades and let me know if
you have any questions. Do let me know if you see any error(s),
or if you have any concerns.

Grades will become final next week so I hope you can check
them and verify them before then, to eliminate any unpleasant
surprizes. Along with Fulya, Mieko, Andy and Michael we very
much appreciated your interest for this class and thank you
for your effort and have greatly enjoyed working with you.

Hope your finals week will be sensational and your winter
break absolutely wonderful with the new year 2003 full of most
exciting accomplishments for everybody.

... Adrian
