There's a carnival on the Union Mall and I'm here straight from the golf course. It must be the last day of class.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

3:30 section has rocketed up to 72%. Still need about 10 people to take the evaluation to get the bonus points.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Just became aware that 3:30 section's bonus pts spreadsheet has the column "Goss" - that's a typo, and for your class is the Pulitzer essay.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Section 11 (3:30pm) may still earn five more bonus points by completing the course evaluation at 85% or above by May 2.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

All bonus points have been posted to a PDF on BlackBoard. Find your student ID and email if you have any questions or notice an error.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

All bonus points will be posted in a spreadsheet under "Presentations" within the next hour. Stay tuned.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Section 11 (3:30pm) you need about 22 more people to take the evaluation to receive the bonus - you are currently at 56%.

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Congrats to Section 10 (2PM) - your class just hit 89% completion on the course evaluation, and you will all receive five bonus points!

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Eval update: Section 10 (2pm) continues to lead, with 68% completion. Section 11 (3:30pm) is at 48%. [10% = about 7 people]

[American Government @PLSC2003]

Class evaluation progress: Section 10 (2pm): 60%; Section 11 (3:30pm): 39%. Remember, if your section gets to 85% everyone gets 5 bonus pts.
