Ooops!  I was mistaken.  I thought the final grades go on Blackboard
immediately after I hit the submit button.  I have been told that such
is not the case, there is a delay.  They will get posted when the system
gets around to posting them, and I do not know how long that will take.

What is on Blackboard now is your final exam grade, thanks to Milad who
posted them this morning.

Sorry for my mistake.
