The Final Exam is on Saturday 6/10 from 7-10PM! Read this post on Ed for all the details.
- If at least 80% of the class fills out both CAPEs and the End-of-Quarter Survey by Saturday 6/10 at 8AM, then we will add 0.5% of extra credit to everyone’s overall grade. We’re currently only at 51% for CAPEs and 36% for the End-of-Quarter Survey!
