Sorry for the delay in my weekly email to you! Lots of good information for this week! Don't forget that Monday, Feb. 20 is a holiday -- no classes and the building will be closed.
ASTR/HIST 313 Writing Credit: For those of you still looking for some writing credit, Astr/Hist 313 this spring will be offered as writing credit. A great and interesting way to finish the requirement!
PHYS 321/324 Prerequisite confusion: Last week I had several of you ask me about the Phys 321 and Phys 324 prerequisite listing. I spoke with Physics and we are all in agreement that is it confusing. I think the listings have now been updated in the course catalog. Please read through them and feel free to ask if you still have questions. Thanks to those that mentioned something since it was very easy to change!
Undergraduate Research Symposium: Every spring the symposium is held on campus to showcase undergraduate research. This is a great opportunity for those working on projects to share your results. Students will often present a poster but there are oral presentations as well. I strongly encourage anyone working on research to consider participating. Talk with your research adviser about submitting an abstract; the deadline is February 24. http://www.washington.edu/
Satisfactory/Non-Satisfactory Grading: Feb. 19 is the last day to change your grading option from standard to Satisfactory/Non-Satisfactory (S/NS). An "S" grade means that you earned at least a 2.0 in the course. Courses that you elect to have graded as S/NS will only count towards the 180 credits needed for graduation. Questions? Read the policy here: http://www.washington.edu/
