If you wish to have either your longer paper, your Islam paper, or your semester grade, mailed to you, you must give me a self-addressed, stamped envelope (with enough postage) at the Final Exam; please note somewhere what you would like returned.

I no longer e-mail grades; you can access you semester grade through WebAdvisor as soon as I’ve posted them. I expect to have semester grades posted by December 21.

Papers will be held in my office until late January; you may pick them up at any time after December 20. After late January, all papers will be discarded.
