Thanks to all for a good semester and year, and good luck on the final exams. Be sure the check the earlier posts to review and prepare.
Freshmen: Today we had a great seminar on Great Expectations. It was a Great way to end the year. You exceeded my Expectations with your Great Capstones, not to mention the work you did all year leading up to it. Congratulations and thank you.
Sophomores: Finish up reading Tuesdays With Morrie, and prepare for your Perfect Day (e.g. final exam).
CNF: Thanks for a great semester. You all were great, and it means a lot to me that you took the class. Thanks again.

Compelling Non-Fiction Second Semester Final Exam
Compelling Non-Fiction Second Semester Final Exam
This semester we studied the notion of what the world would be like without us, as well as what the world can be like with us. With that in mind, your final exam is to write an essay that details what specific, tangible, and measurable thing (or things) you will do in the next calendar year to make the world a better place. In the course of your essay, you should reference some of the things we have read and discussed, as well as how the thing we have read and discussed have impacted your thinking about the prompt. Your essay should be double spaced and clear of most conventions errors. The essay should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, and display depth and clarity of thought. Provide a compelling (non-fiction) title at the top when finished. Not included in your grade, but expected from me, is periodic updates from you over the next year as to how your plan is working out. Good luck, and thank you for your time and effort this semester.
