(Updated) URGENT reminder to J 200-1 students

Kindly take note that today (July 25) is the deadline for the submission of “preliminary” findings, the word preliminary defined at our orientation last June 13 as “at least 70 percent complete” (which may vary depending on the status of your thesis).

As of this writing (11:35 a.m.), only three students have passed their preliminary findings. Those who cannot meet the deadline today may have a hard time catching up so they should seriously consider dropping J 200-1 (Thesis). Incidentally, the last day for dropping courses is on September 8.

You should know that I will be out of the country twice (in July and August) and I have several speaking engagements in the coming weeks, some of them out-of-town. Since I cannot easily adjust my already full schedule in the next few months, please observe the deadlines.

Thank you for your attention.

Update (6:15 pm): Out of the seven students enrolled in J 200-1, six managed to submit their preliminary findings. Thank you for your cooperation.
