The final exam will be held on Saturday, April 10, from 7 – 10 p.m in Room Curtis Lecture Hall E. Please don’t complain to me about that crappy time, since I have no control over it.  If for some reason you can’t make that, you will need to obtain and complete a request for a deferral form from the School of Human Resource Management, and those requests are decided upon at the School level–I do not make those decisions.

You should be aware that deferrals are not usually granted except for exceptional reasons, such as sudden illnesses (a doctor’s note will be required), a death in the family, et cetera.  The fact that you have booked  a trip for that weekend will not be considered a valid reason to miss the exam, since the University assumes that all students are available during the exam period.  If the deferral request is granted, you will be required to write a make-up exam a few weeks or so after the original scheduled exam period.

On the assignment sheet, I indicate that assignments can be submitted in hard copy at the School of Human Resource Management, Room 123 in the Atkinson Building or through the on-line assignment submission process for internet courses.

Here is the link that explains the internet submission process.

Cheers, David

I promised to post a very general overview of where to find answers to the midterm.  I will do that still, but there are some students writing a makeup exam from last year this week and there may be some similar or overlapping questions with those on your midterm.   Therefore, I need to wait until after those students have written their exam later this week.  I will post something next Monday.  Thanks, David

Hello,  I believe the links to the assignment and the Lecture Notes from Lecture 8 are not working.  Apparently there was some problem with the York server that they inform me has now been fixed.

I understand the midterm marks are now available on the official York course website page (I can’t post them on this blog).  So check the marks the same way you do for your other courses.

The Assignment is now posted here (you can find it any time under the heading Assignment at the top of the blog too).

It is due on March 31st and late papers will not be accepted for any reason, so don’t wait until the last minute.  It is optional, as described in the course outline.  However, if you missed the midterm for an approved reason, you must do the assignment, since you cannot write a 100 percent final exam.

If you have any questions or comments arising from Lecture 7, please use the comment on this blog entry to raise them and I will respond to comments here.

Hello everyone.

The midterms are being graded by the grader and the marks will likely be posted on the official York website for this course next Friday (March 5th).  I will provide a link to the page on this blog once the grades are posted.  The drop date for the course is March 8th.  I will provide the correct responses to the multiple choice questions and the basic source of the answers for the short answers, but I will not distribute an actual specific marking scheme, since questions are reused in future courses and we can’t have the answers floating around the university.  There is no process for having midterm tests reviewed, but there is a process if you want to review your final exam at the end of the course.  So please do not send me emails requesting a review of your grades on specific questions.  The grader has been marking these tests for many years, and applies the same marking scheme to everyone.

The optional assignment will be posted on the blog early next week, and must be submitted to the Distance Education Office by March 31st.    As indicated on the outline, if we receive an assignment from you, then you will be graded based on Option One on page 2 of the outline.  If we do not receive an assignment from you by March 31st, then you will be graded in accordance with Option Two (as described on page 2 of the outline).
