The semester's end....

Brace yourselves...  The "Is there anything I can do to improve my grade?" requests are coming.

Yup, I've already had a couple. What kills me is, if this request had been made in, say, the fourth week of the semester, I'd be all "Sure...let's line up some tutoring and why don't you come to my office hours every week, and also be sure you can answer the questions at the end of every chapter we cover." But now, all I can do is shake my head sadly and say, "Sorry, no."

(Really, I think a lot of them are not-very-well-disguised requests for extra credit. And we all know how I feel about extra credit.)

LOL, funny, because it's TRUE.

Things to keep under control: eye rolls, heavy sighs, snickers and snorts, and the urge to reach out and throttle the little darlings.
