Java revolt

Good news. I got an 89 on my Java mid-term. This was great because many people actually got less than a 50 and failed. The professor is amidst a secret underground revolt from a class full of adult ed students. They filed the following complaint email and sent it to the whole class this evening even though the professor offered to allow anyone in the class to take a second test where he would take the better of the two scores. I might even take it. I could get a 90 or better!


I know this doesn't apply to everyone in the class so I don't expect everyone to go ahead with this request.

As many of you know more than half of the class failed the mid-term and I know that many of us are frustrated with Rom.

I spoke with my advisor Julia Goldberg today and she said the only way that we can get anything accomplished is if we email Dr. Zlateva.

Dr. Zlateva is the head of the department and is going to deal with our situation only if enough people write to her and complain about the situation.

Her email address is zlateva@bu.edu
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't see half the students complaining outside of class on Monday.

Hopefully we can get this situation straightened out.
