GRADES    Our course finished just after the deadline to submit the grades for the second-term of the
                     Summer Session.
The PSU summer-terms organizers have requested me to submit the grades
                     via  the Supplementary
Grade Report form, which I will comply. These grades will be  entered
                     manually into the system.
  I will announce once all the grades are in.  Andres.
