Last Day of Spring Term - Announcements
 
Graded Work - After the last day of classes your graded assignments will no longer be available to you - though most of the grades may be viewed online at your class web site.

Grade Posting - I'll post final course grades as soon as possible - no later than early next week. Check your course web site for updates.

Congratulations to those of you who will participate in graduation on Saturday and best wishes to you as you continue on to additional academic work and/or jobs.

Fall Term - I hope to see some of you (and perhaps friends and acquaintances?) in some of my fall 2008 classes. Registration begins during the summer and classes begin in late September. I am scheduled to teach:

  • Two Introduction to Music (Music 1) sections (MTWTh at 9:30 and at 10:30).
  • Two Introduction to Electronic Music (Music 51) sections (MW at 12:30 and F-only at 10:30)
  • One Intermediate Electronic Music (Music 8) section (TTh at 12:30).

Summer Schedule - I will not be on campus on a regular basis during the summer months. The best way to contact me is via email.

Speaking of summer... Have a great one!

My Spring 2008 Final Exam Week Schedule
 
Monday, June 23

Although this is the last regular day for spring quarter classes, I will not be on campus on Monday - as I have announced to my classes earlier this quarter.

Tuesday, June 24

I have no exams or other meetings scheduled on Tuesday, but I do plan to be on campus during the day. I am hopeful that I will be able to open A91 for electronic music open lab sometime during the day - check the electronic music web site for updates.

Wednesday, June 25

The Intermediate Electronic Music final exam session is at 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in A91. I will be on campus before and after this exam session. There may be an electronic music open lab in the morning before this exam session - check the electronic music web site for updates.

Thursday, June 26

The 9:30 MTWTh Intro to Music final exam session is at 9:15 - 11:15 a.m in A11. (You may arrive as late as 9:30 if you prefer.) I will be on campus after this exam as well.

Friday, June 27

I have two final exams on Friday. The 10:30 MTWTh Intro to Music final exam session is at 9:15 - 11:15 a.m. in A11. (You may arrive as late as 9:30 if you prefer.) The Intro to Electronic Music final exam session is at 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in A91.

Office Hours: Although I do not have scheduled office hours during finals week, I can meet with you if you contact me to arrange for a time that works for both of us.

Attendance is required at scheduled final exam sessions unless you have made prior alternate arrangements with me or in the rare case of a serious emergency. (Bad traffic on the highway or failing to wake up in time are not "serious emergencies.") If you do not come to your exam session and do not contact me in a timely fashion your grade will likely be affected and you could even fail the course. Bottom line: Contact me immediately if you have a schedule issue or a last-minute emergency.
