Momma is quietly doing a happy dance right now. I just got done e-mailing with daughter's Calc III professor. He says she has done so well that he does not think she needs to have a final exam. Whew!! OK, yes, I'm happy that she has done well, and happy for her that she does not have to study for yet another exam, but the happy dance ......... it's really because I wasn't looking forward to driving six hours round trip to take her to the exam. Naughty momma here! |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

A 6 hour drive happy dance, to be exact. Well earned. |

Gratz to daughter! That's awesome. |

Thanks, Horace! Yes, she's pretty happy about it, too. Sure, she has to finish the last assignments as scheduled for the next week, but then she's done with the course. Here's what her professor wrote to me: "I’m planning on getting the grading done this weekend. She’s done a remarkable job all by herself. I had planned on offering far more hints and assistance than I did. There will be no other assessment – the homework is PLENTY." He's still catching up on the homework grading, so maybe the thought of creating, giving, and grading yet another final exam just for her independent study course wasn't appealing to him? Ja, you betcha! |

It would have been a whole day, with the six hours of driving and two or more hours for an exam. I am still smiling that I don't have to do that. Not to mention that the interstate to that college is always a mess any time we get more than five snowflakes. That school is the only one in the entire state that offers an on-line Calc III course, so I was ready to make the drive next week for her exam, and I fully expected to have to do so. This is like an early Christmas present! |

No final? Apparently your daughter got a lazy prof who cuts corners. You should refer this lazy prof for disciplinary hearings, ask for a refund, and re-enroll her in the same curriculum with another prof. As for "driving 6 hours" to take a final exam? C'mon, you're spoiling her. You forgot that we used to trek 12 miles to school every day, in the snow, uphill both ways. She's lucky she can take a bus to the final. Other than that, congratulations!
