Many many people have passed Karla's CS 202 course. I think a single
case of somebody not being able to pass the course when most people *do*
pass the course is more of an indicator of that single person than of
the course itself.
In my experience, Karla has been more than fair in her grading.

I'm sorry if you felt I was insulting how long you've been in college.
I'm really the last one to speak ... I started schooling at PSU in the
fall of 2000 and am just now a Junior. :-)
Your time in college has surely shown you, however, that you don't need
a book on the first day of class (which was, actually, what I was trying
to say).

Most people take five years to complete a four year degree these days...
especially a technical degree.

We're far enough off topic now, I think. I'm through with the thread...
if you wish to address anything else I've said in this email, I would
encourage you to email me off list. I haven't blocked you yet.
