BUAD477 FINAL GRADE

The consolidated grade sheet for your class has been posted on this blog. The grade sheet includes your extra credit point, peer evaluation, final exam and attendance points (negative points).This grade sheet also contains the final grade for the course.

BEFORE CONTACTING ME FOR ANY CLARIFICATIONS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY!

1) Your final exam: I have added SIX POINTS on the final exam. The reason for this is that 3 questions were worded poorly and I added 3 points as extra credit for attendance. Please contact me about this category only if
• you want to see your scantron and check the scores
• I have forgotten to add the 6 points for you.

2) Other scores: I have been very liberal in grading. I will not entertain any request for upgrading the score because “you just feel it is very low.” If you want to see me about grade changes in this area,
• Please be very sure of your request. I have already been very lenient in assigning points.
• I will be in my office during the following hours, if you would like to talk to me about your grades.
Tomorrow: Thursday, December 14, 11.30-1pm.

3) If the questions are about your group performance (DHIN project or Presentation), please meet me as a team. I do not think it will be a very efficient use of our time if I spend the time with each team member individually.

4) Please do not ask for extra points because one or more of your team members did not step up to the plate and do his/her work. You worked on the DHIN project and group presentation as a team and you are equally responsible for the final product.

5) All grades have been rounded off to the nearest whole number. Please do not contact me with requests for 0.5 points or 0.25 points to push your letter grade to the next level. I will not entertain such requests.

6) PLEASE EMAIL ME AT anusiva@udel.edu.

I will be submitting the final grades to the University on Friday, December 15 in the morning. Please sort out any issues you have with your grade before the end of the day tomorrow.


I really enjoyed having you in class this semester! For those of you who are graduating, CONGRATULATIONS!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & ALL THE VERY BEST FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE!

Roundball Ruckus 3-on-3 Rules

We will play a single elimination tournament. One loss and your team is out.

Game is straight to 12 points, or a 30 minute time limit. Game may not end in a tie.
On any change of possession the ball must be taken back by the new offensive team. The ball must be taken back behind the 3pt line.Play by 1 point and 2 point baskets. (Behind the 3pt line, basket is 2 points.) Play “make it take it.” After a made basket, the scoring team will retain possession, and get the ball up top.There won’t be referees calling the fouls. If you get fouled, call it yourself and it will be your team’s ball up top. Baskets count if you are fouled in the process of shooting.
When a team gets the ball up top, they may not dribble or shoot the ball. They must check the ball to the defense, and then put the ball in play by a pass. The half court line is out of bounds. Before the game, the teams can decide which lines are out of bounds on the sides, since some of the courts don’t allow too much room for a baseline 3-point shot. The teams must agree on the out of bounds
