100% pass! (At least thats what Im claiming)

Yesterday, I taught the latest in my series of on-day Tech classes. 17
students actually took the test, and we were joined by four people at the
end of the class to take the test.
Students taking the Tech test yesterday at my latest one-day Tech class.

I had a lot of University of Michigan students yesterday. Many of them were
students in the graduate class, SPACE 584 Â*—Â* Space Instrumentation. This
class is described as, a survey of physical principles and engineering of
instrumentation used throughout the many related fields of space science.
Upon completion of the course, students will have a firm grasp of the
principles and techniques used to sense and measure photons, neutral gases,
charged particles and cosmic dust. Now, they will also have a Technician
Class amateur radio license.

The instructor for this course is Dr. Susan T. Lepri. QRZ.Com does not show
that shes licensed, so Im going to work on her and maybe get her to attend
my next class.

I also had some students from the Michigan Balloon Recovery and Testbed
(MBurst). MBuRST is a student team that flies high-altitude balloons and
track them through APRS. I got an email from their project manager Thursday
night, who asked if he could bring some members of their team to the class.
I warned him that it might be tough to cram for the test in less than 48
hours, but he shrugged it off.

With good reason, too. All of his team members passed the test. In fact,
everyone who took the class passed the test, except for one high school
girl. I had warned her parents that often teenagers often dont do well in
this class, but I guess she decided to give it a go anyway.

With that in mind, Im claiming a 100% pass rate. What do you think?
