The Spring semester for Scott completed early yesterday evening. First, a little background.
Scott has been taking two classes with the one on Wednesday evenings as a graduate school criminology course. The one on Tuesday has been a graduate Public Administration class as he needed an elective outside his major. The Wednesday night course had its last meeting last week and he completed his take home essay final and submitted that Saturday afternoon.
That left the Tuesday night class which has a meeting last night which was to be be the final on campus meeting. Then, he was supposed to have a take home final of an essay of some type that would run about a dozen pages with a citation page. During class last night, the professor informed the students that he very rarely graded a final higher than a 95. If the student wanted to do so, said student could take whatever grade he or she had made on the mid term and have that counted as his or her final as well. If one did that, one did not have to write the final.
Scott had a 95 on the mid term. Clearly, there is no point in trying to beat that. So, he is gladly taking that grade for the final and calling it quits for the semester.
Not only did I not have to keep driving back and forth to UTD as classes are done, but he is done with everything. We now await final grading of a couple of papers in each class. At this point, he is on track for an A in both classes. We await final word.
His final summer vacation as a college student has begun.

Hooray for Scott!
Wow! You and Sandi raised a smart and fine young man.
He is a good kid. Even though he has gotten very sick of the Scott's Yard joke. :)
Mazel tov, Scott!
