Geoffrey,

The graduate school notified me that they would need grades for the
following courses and independent study that I took with you sometimes
ago. I appreciate your kind help in this regard.

\begin{enumerate}
\item {\bf CPS 616}: Technology Applications for the Information Age.
{\em Spring 1996}, {\em 3 credits}.
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Comment}: This was the first course offered on
  Java/CGI/Perl, etc. I believe I have finished all the requirements
  for this course. In addition to the assignments, I have completed
  a number of Java applications and applets. Some of them shown in the
  JavaCSE page.
\end{itemize}
\item {\bf CPS 713}: Case Studies in Computational Science, the
  simulation track. {\em Spring 1996}, {\em 3 credits}.
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Comment}: The work I have done for this course range from
  my work on optimization at that time with Paul to the Software
  Exchange web resources on also optimization that Paul and I put
  together.
\end{itemize}
\item {\bf CIS 990}: Independent Study. {\em Spring 1997}, {\em 6
    credits}.
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Comment}: This was a comparative study on various
  annealing-based methods for scheduling. The result of this study was
  our paper submitted to {\em Practice and Theory of Automated
    Timetabling II, August 1997}, and later appeared in {\em Springer
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Volume 1408}.
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
