Final Grades

You should have each received an individual e-mail from me regarding your final grade.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

I will not be able to input grades into SeaNet until next week (1st week of May). The system will not allow me to do so until then.

I hope you all enjoyed your experience in LIB 103. Have a fabulous summer!

Good Example of An Information News Story

Feel free to use it as one of your 10 stories.

Remember, you should include a summary of the news story as well as your reaction to the story.
