Poison oak leaves on the last day of summer against a backgrouind of branches and early autumn colors - Calero Hills, California.
My last-day-of-summer morning hike at Calero Park began early and in cloudy weather - but the overcast saturated the colors on some of the early fall colors, including the leaves on this poison oak bush on a grassy hillside.

Shoreline trees, grasses, and rocks catch the morning sunlight and are reflected in Fletcher Lake, Yosemite National Park, California.
This photograph is from near the outlet stream of Fletcher Lake, very close to the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp. Early morning light is beginning to flow around the base of Fletcher Peak and strike the rocks and vegetation along the shoreline right below the peak. This is one of a series of photographs I made on this morning as I wandered around this lake in the early light.

End of term notes - with more to come. Congratulations to those of you who have completed the final Music 1A
test and turned in all remaining work and extra credit. I have scored
and graded the tests and I hope to post the results along with your
final course grades during the next next 24 hours.
There is
one loose end to tie up still. A few students who appeared to be on
track to complete the course work did not show up to take the test this
week. I have emailed these students. If you are among them you must
contact me immediately to explain what happened. I must turn grades in
very soon and I cannot assign you a passing grade without that test.

Spring 2009 Grades Posted. I have calculated and posted spring 2009 grades for the Introduction to Electronic Music and the Intermediate Electronic Music classes. I heard quite a few very fine final projects this week - congratulations! I hope that I'll see some of you in my Intermediate class (Music 8) next year, and that many of you will consider other music classes. Email me if you have any questions about other music department offerings.
Have a great summer!

Missing Projects? (This time, for real!). Unlike a message I posted here on a related topic earlier this week, this one is actually relevant - and possibly very important - for students taking electronic music classes this quarter.
We have now completed all three electronic music final exam sessions, at which we heard final projects for both Intro to Electronic Music classes and for the Intermediate Electronic Music class. There were a lot of fine projects, by the way!
However, several students who have been active in the electronic music classes did not show up to their finals, or make alternate arrangements - and this means they have submitted no final project. According to course green sheets, I must assign a failing grade if you don't complete a final project. So, if you have a project you need to contact me IMMEDIATELY - and by "immediately" I mean within the next hour or two following the posting and emailing of this message.

Last-minute lab time for Intermediate Electronic Music students. For those students in the intermediate class, you may be able to pick up a bit of final lab time during the 9:15-11:15 final exam session for the Intro class on Friday - but no guarantees.
