Hello, and goodbye.  The grades have been reported to Howdy and 
posted to eCampus.  I think you will see two "Total" lines on 
your eCampus page; the one that counts is at the bottom, a score 
out of 600 possible.  The one at the top (built-in to the system, 
1300 possible) does not have the homework weighted properly; I 
have no way of getting rid of it.  (Early in the semester I 
tried, but succeeded only in deleting it from my own entry page, 
so that now I can't do anything with that spreadsheet column at 
all.)

I am a soft touch.  All the paper grades were very high, so the 
course grades were effectively determined by the homework grades, 
which were so strongly bimodal that I had to take them seriously.  
Rest assured that I still have a very good opinion of all of you.

Over the next few days I intend to e-mail each of you some 
comments on your term paper.  In most cases I won't mail back the 
printout with my handwritten annotations (unless you ask), 
because usually those are just corrections of trivial typos.

RETRACTION:  I have now heard from an even more reliable source 
that the Ostrowski who was department head at Texas A&M was not 
the same person as the one mentioned in our textbook.  So, that 
part of Lecture 13 has been deleted.
