Kansas City Free Clinic Students:
Kansas City Free Clinic Website
**KCFree is @ 3515 Broadway, but parking is on Central St., which is a one-way one block east of Broadway. You'll see a waist-high brick wall on the back side of the clinic. Park in that lot, or if it is close to full, continue down Central and park in the lot that is next to the apartments. To get in the clinic, go through the parking lot behind the clinic, in the door next to the garage door. Walk through the indoor parking and go up one floor, enter the reception area, and check in at the front desk. They'll take it from there!

Grades:

PRI612 Midterm Grades -


PRA637 (Thompson Technique) Grades - Grade sheet includes: "Misc", which is your class participation points for labs (out of 50), two quizzes of ten points each, and your midterm grade. I found 3 questions that the class did poorly on as a whole, so I took the test out of 94 points instead of 100 points. That gave the entire class a 6 point "curve" on the exam. I have also already factored the extra credit questions in on the test, so your midterm grade is your raw score + any extra credit points. Your overall grade for the course is your total points earned divided by 164 total points for the course so far. We'll have a few more quizzes and of course, the final practical. If you want to see your test, please do so within the next two weeks. See me during my CMR/Clinic Office Hour times (see my schedule above).
