Dear Fourth Year Students,

The psychology department has occupied our classroom for tomorrow. Since we need to get together and talk about what will happen in the course, I have reserved the departmental library for our classes tomorrow. Lena Colic has suggested that you all meet as one group at 10:30, which is fine with me. However, I'll be there at 9 anyway, just in case someone is left out of the loop.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Peace!
Randall

Registration Forms

Dear Third and Fourth Year,

The registration forms for the June exam period will be turned in today.
If I don't see you, I hope you all have a lovely summer.
Peace!

Third and Fourth Year - Signatures

Dear Third and Fourth Year,

I apologize about length of the grading process, but I tried to give your projects the attention they deserve. I spent literally hours evaluating them and thinking about them. I hope you are satisfied with the feedback.
Collateral damage: I've fallen far behind on some other work that needs to get done for the Department and some of my other ventures. So, I will be available to sign your booklets at the following times:
Saturday, June 29, from 16-17h
Monday, July 1, from 11-12.

If you are unable to get your booklets to me at one of those times, it will have to wait till the semester starts.

I will be around in the meantime, but I think it's better if we do this in at least a semi-organized way.

Peace!
Randall A.

Peace!

Dear Third Year,

Here are two charts with your Final Exam grades:

Rescheduling, Third and Fourth Year

Dear Third and Fourth Year,

It has been pointed out to me that many of you will be celebrating Good Friday this week, either with family or with friends. Also, it is a reading week, so you should be preparing for exams.
Therefore, I will NOT be giving you your tests this week. Stay home, study, celebrate Easter.

We will see each other on April 11 and 12, third and fourth year respectively. The third year will work on the other Basara text for a while and then take the test, the fourth year will work on a text that I will post here on the blog and then take their test.

Happy Easter to you all, see you in April.

Peace! Randall A.

Please talk among yourselves and give me some options at the beginning of next week, preferably one of the days you all have to go to the FF anyway.

In the subject line you should write "Third Year Make-up Test" or "Fourth Year Make-up Test", depending on which applies to you. The body of the e-mail can either be blank, or you can type "Count me in!". If your e-mail address is transparent (if it reflects your name in some way) that will suffice. If your email is something obscure like "hugmepleaseImdown@znet.com", then please put your name in the body of the text as well.
You need to apply by Wednesday January 16, 2013 at 17h. If you do NOT register, I will assume you are not coming.
