2. "by means of" a tool or means of transport

Students worked on their presentations for the oral part of the final.
Scantron final will be on Thursday, Dec. 14th
Oral final will be on Friday, Dec. 15th
Absences for either final will result in an Incomplete because Kimmel Sensei will be on medical leave starting Dec. 18th. She will be out until February 6th. At that time students may make up any portions of the final that they missed and the Incomplete grade will be replaced with a letter grade. However, I hope that everyone will be present on the 14th and 15th.
