Subject: grades

(This message is being sent to CPSC 215 Students and TA's)

I'll be sending out sp4 reports shortly.  I will also send
out a complete report of your program grades to date.

Based on prior experience teaching this and other courses,
if your average is in the 40 to 60 range,  you need to
change your way of doing business  SOON or you will likely
find yourself on the receiving end of a grade or D or worse.

If your average is worse that, I recommend that you drop
the course and try again when you find yourself in a position
in which you might have enough time to put in the effort
necessary for success.

If you don't have any drop hours left and also don't have time
to put in the effort necessary for success in this course,
I recommend that you NOT SPEND ANY MORE TIME at all on THIS
course. Instead spend the time you have on courses where you
DO have a reasonable chance for success.

Shown below are the sorted program averages to date:  About
half the class has program average of 80 or better and 3/4
are in no particular danger at this point.
