I enjoyed teaching you more than any other class that I have taught, either here or in Hawaii. You did very well; only one class that I have had did marginally (and only marginally) better. There are far more As and Bs than the University expects when it says that B means "above average". The highest final grade was 94.1 %, and 11 people got more than 90 %. Maybe the most important thing that you can learn from this course is the importance of enthusiasm and hard work. You were enthusiastic and you worked hard -- that's why teaching this class was fun. You should be proud of your results. I am proud of you, and I wish you well in everything that you do.
Final grades were submitted at 7:30 PM on Friday, May 4, 2007.
