This past week was finals week; all that remains for me is to grade the finals and post the overall grades. That will occupy a good bit of the weekend. Twenty-some tests in Linear Algebra, eighteen or so in DiffEq, and ten in E/NE Geometry.
There's a bit of a hitch. Some special-needs students - two each in Linear and DiffEq - took their tests separately, and the relevant office was supposed to send their papers to me. Three of the four had arrived by mail time today, but one is still outstanding. Grades have to be submitted by noon on Monday; I'll have to go in early, in the hope that the fourth paper was sent late today.
Other than that, I'm done for the year. Next semester, I'll be teaching the two history of math classes and differential geometry. That last class is probably a last hurrah; we've had such trouble getting enough students to take the course that we've decided (unhappily, in my case) to remove it from the regular schedule. The industrious Chinese student I mentioned a while back wanted to take it, but another mandatory class (he's actually a graduate student in engineering) conflicts. He decided to take it second-hand; he talked two of his fellow engineering students into taking it, and he will study their notes. Clever fellow.
