Hi everyone,

At least two students have reported that their PMU199Y grade did not show up on ROSI. I can assure you that this is not my fault: I submitted class grades well in advance of the deadline using the UofT E-Marks system, as has been confirmed by the Physics Undergraduate Office. The problem is with the central university grade software. Accordingly, it is not something either I or the Physics Department can do anything about. Rest assured, your grade is officially there, it’s just a ROSI bug. We have reported this, and the Central IT people are “working on fixing it”.

Sorry about not being as available as usual on e-mail the past 2 1/2 weeks. I have gotten really engaged in my research visit to the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) for part of the “Bits ‘n’ Branes” program and conference — so much so that I forget to check my UofT email frequently!

I hope you are having a great summer.

Cheers,
Prof. P.

Hi everyone,

You should have just received your Essay 6 grade by email, and also your unofficial final grade. Of course, like with anything important, it’s not official until it’s official.

People generally did very well, with the class median sitting at a high A- (just below an A).

So – CONGRATULATIONS!

I wish every one of you all the very best for your future studies. And your future in general. It has been a privilege being in a classroom with you.

Cheers,
Prof. P.

Hi,
