I gave the second exam today. I have not graded them all yet, but I have a feeling that the grade distribution will move from flat to bimodal: some people going up into As and Bs, others falling to Fs, and nobody remaining in the middle. Some people put an effort in it, some don't. That's life.
Since the last meeting of the class (and the Final Exam) is next week, I'll have to quickly write down the notes for my last two lectures so the students can have sufficent time to study. I will post the notes here, as usual. I hope to get both lectures written tomorrow, but life may interfere if I get to have lunch with Neil the Ethical Werewolf tomorrow.
Speaking of Neil, he should have a new post up soon on the OAC blog. And speaking of OAC, the latest poll of possible Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa placed John Edwards in the lead (30%), ahead of Clinton, Kerry and others. It's early, but it's nice to know that people on the ground are not buying the "Hillary is the nominee" trope pushed by the media.
In other news, someone put my Sleep post on Digg and Stumbleupon, which is making my Sitemeter feel good. It was moving so fast at one point that Abel, who tried to be my 2000th visitor at this new blog, only managed to be the 2001st.
Speaking of blog-love, I like compliments like anyone, but this is just amazing - made me blush! Thank you, Madison Guy!
