The general surveys the carnage, part 2.

All final grades have been calculated and posted to the school Web site--yee-ha!  They ran about as I expected, with one notable exception.  In my comatose afternoon class, out of nine who survived into the final exam (i.e. they didn't withdraw or fail because of excessive absence), eight made either D's or F's and will have to repeat the course.  Of those eight, five were F's, and outright F's at that--no borderline cases here.

Crap.

I may have been a little too exacting in my points schematic, but not by much.  Half or more of those F's could have been avoided if the little rats had turned in their work, listened to me, and/or bothered to give half a fig (not even a whole one!).  So on balance, maybe not that surprising.

Now, a few days until we (the gf and I) head to the beach: Harbor Island, SC.  A whole week!  I'm actually going to try to relax and clear my mind, which I was not able to do in Vegas.  More on that in the next post.
