Grades have been entered. Some were lowered based upon absences. Your lowest quiz grade has been thrown out. A few of you were signed out for the blood drive. While we appreciate your contribution, it does not excuse you from missing the mid-term. A tentative zero has been entered until it is made up. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email at djsuominen@cps.edu. Have a good weekend.
