In the past, the practical scores have been posted outside the MDL on Sat AM after a Fri exam. This year, out of conservative deference to FERPA, we will not be posting scores. Not even by exam number as we have in the past. This is one of the few changes in local policies that I am not bothering to counter. There are some practical implications.
We can not provide your score by email. This is no password protected on line resource for this (I would not trust it anyway). Thus, short of hardcopy notification of your score by campus mail that may not arrive until Wed, there is no expeditious way to inform you of your practical score. The written will take a week to be graded. The practical will be tentatively scored Friday night.
I am considering setting a time on Sat/Sun whereby interested students could meet me in the MDL center room; one at a time to learn their score. My observation over the past decades is that receiving these scores ASAP tends to engender a general relaxation within the class with some exception. You might comment to me about this, especially if you think receiving the scores over the weekend is a bad idea. In the past, the laboratory scores have been made available sat AM.
