MILLSAPS STATICS AWARD goes to MIKE STASKO
In my nomination of Mike for the award, I wrote the following:
``The top student in my section who should receive the Millsaps
Statics Award is Michael C. Stasko ... who
received the highest overall course score of 95.93.
Mike doubly deserves the honor as he was a transfer student from
a community college. The last Fall 98 semester was his first at
UF. Giving Mike the award will encourage transfer students from
community colleges as they see that they are not at a
disadvantage compared to those who started to attend UF as
freshmen.''

And the other winners (grade A) are
(in descending order of overall course scores):
Anissa Laghrari
Matt Ivill
Andy Maurice
Michael Diehl
Brent Lang
Philip Dean
Bryan Noble
Robert Angrisani
Monica Sung
Jennifer Fischer

Final grade:
The three exams will make up
80%
of the final grade, and the HW
10%
.
The quizzes will make up
10%
of the final grade, with the
lowest score dropped (each quiz would be about
2%
of the final
grade).
So primarily your grades will be decided by the exams, which are the
same as for the other sections, and the HW, which was graded very
leniently; that's
90%
already. I will account for the average of
the quizzes, which are different from the other sections, to decide
on the range of scores for each letter grade (curving). I will also
look at the progress and the attendance (lectures and quizzes) of
each individual student to help the dilligent students. (Remember,
I know most of your names and faces.)
Your course grade is C or better if your overall course
score was 65 or higher.
