Why Not?

Today in class we did not get anytime to talk in our group.  But Dr. Oliver reiterated what we need to be except from the final exam and the presentation. If you have a 90% or above on exam one and two, you will not need to take the third exam.  We also tallied up score cards to see if we will be except from the presentation.
