Semester`s End:

I have finished with my Cal State Fullerton History of Animation class. (2 more classes at Brooks to go next week) The Fullerton grades are turned in. I did the long walk all over campus and then back again getting everything signed off by departments I never deal with and I got it turned in so I will get my last couple of pay checks. (It only took me 2 hours and 5 miles of walking. I`m not joking here)

The last whining student has been emailed back Your grade is your grade, you missed 3 classes so you don`t get the 10 points for attendance (read the syllabus) and all that extra credit you somewhere found should have been turned in before the last class, the grades are in.

Okay, that is not fair. I had 79 great students, students that are going places, students that will show up in the industry very soon and do great things and only one whiner trying to talk themself into a grade they did not earn. But one is enough and that is the one I tend to remember right after the class ends.

Last Sunday I posted some quiz question on the Blog while I was writing the final test for this class. So here are the answers (even thou most of you know the answers already):
