Please Note: My teaching "office hours" are on Tue., Wed., and Thur. I will answer all e-mails then. Do not get upset if you don't hear from me until the office hours. If I do log on at any other time I will answer any e-mails that are there. So if you take an exam over a weekend you will probably not have the results until the next office hours.
