[About posting grades] Yes I do care. I don't mind telling people that I got a C in German but I don't want them to know what I got in Biology. If I wanted them to know I would tell them. Do you want bank's listing your checking account balance? Your doctor listing the results of your last checkup? The IRS listing the results of your last checkup? :^) When I teach a course, (I am a lab TA), I tell them that the only guarentee is that if their numerical score is higher then their grade will not be lower (it might be the same). What score Betty Bimbo got is no concern for Joe Jock, except if Betty tells him. -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w
