A couple of things before your final exam tomorrow:

1) Revised Critical Book Reviews are due at the start of class tomorrow. You must turn in the revised review along with your previous review packet (first submission, rough draft, peer response checklists). If you do not turn in the previous submission with the revised paper, I will not grade the new version for revisions.

2) I have removed the grade category for web-based activities from the Gradebook on Blackboard. I have done this because I ended up not giving you anymore such activities, and that grade was for several activities/assignments, not one. Thus, those of you who have dropped me a note asking what this is no longer have to worry about it, and the rest of you got to listen to an interesting podcast.

3) Finally, your pre-final exam dose of video motivation. This kid has “A” student written all over him:

In an amazing feat of professorial prowess, I have finished grading your midterm exams the night before I told you I would give them back, thus keeping me from having to grade the last ones frantically while you watch the documentary during the second half of class later today. Ah the dirty secrets of a professor’s life…nevertheless, in honor of this mundane but amazing accomplishment, I give you…dramatic Justin Bieber:

*ahem* I have posted your grades on Blackboard, so head on over there to see them.
