The question is: what are you up to this week? It's a busy time for everyone, you and the faculty. If you were to ask the faculty that question, they'd answer very similarly. Except instead of writing papers or studying, faculty would say they are grading all your papers and tests this week. Imagine them in their jammies, with a cup of coffee, red pens dripping, curled up on the couch or a favoriate chair, and blurried eyes from reading a bajillion papers one after the other. See...during finals week, faculty and students are more alike than you may have ever thought.
One reminder: you still have time to register for courses in the spring semester and I encourage you to do so quickly. A number of courses such as COM 328 with Dr. King, COM 566 with Dr. Dudash, COM 436 with Dr. Morris, COM 360 with Dr. Galanes, are still open. We also have a couple of night classes still open, COM 322 and 350. Because we have a number of courses with seats available, it's unlikely that you'll get into a closed class at this point in time. So, check the class schedule again for additional courses that you might take. In most cases, you have a choice from a list of courses to take, so you have options. Talk to your advisor if you have questions about how a course would count.
The faculty in the department of communication hope your finals go well this week and that you make it home safe and sound after that. Take some time to relax over the break and rejuvenate, ready to tackle spring semester in 2008.
See you next year.
Kelly McNeilis, and all the faculty and staff of the department of communication
