Today is Monday. Week 14 of the class is now over. Monday
morning, until noon, is the grace period if you forgot to do any
of the assignments that were due on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, including the Week 14 Storybook assignment (see note below).
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WEEK 14 STORYBOOK:
If you are turning in a Week 14 Storybook assignment, you need to do
that on time - that is, by noon on Monday. You cannot turn in a late
Storybook assignment for Week 14. If you do not get your Storybook
turned in by noon on Monday, you can turn it in instead as your Week 15
assignment - but if you want to turn in BOTH a Week 14 AND a Week 15
assignment, make sure you get the Week 14 assignment in on time, by noon
Monday at the latest.
Storybook stack. On Monday morning, I will update the contents of the stack,
and I will start working my way through the stack based on the
order in which things were turned in. Meanwhile, you can always
check the contents of the stack
to make sure I have received your assignment. If the points for your
Storybook will give you the points you need to finish up the class, send
me a separate email, and I will put your Storybook at the top of the
stack.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WEEK 15: Week 15 is different from other weeks, because it ENDS ON FRIDAY, December 7, AT NOON.
So, if you will be doing some Week 15 assignments to finish up the
class, please be aware of this special schedule: all the final Week
15 assignments are due by NOON ON FRIDAY at the latest. No late
Week 15 Storybook assignment can be turned in for partial credit.
All Week 15 assignments - including the Storybook assignment,
Internet assignment, Blog Responding assignment, along with any
extra credit you want to complete - must be completed by Friday, December 7, at noon.
Grading and points.
As you now know from previous announcements, you need 410 points to
get an A, 360 points to get a B, and 320 points to get a C. When you
get the number of points you need, you are done! If you can let me
know when you are done with the class, I will record the letter
grade for you in the Gradebook so that you can be sure you are
finished with everything for the class.
Monday Events on Campus. They will be giving away FREE Scantrons and Blue Books in the Union Lobby from 11:30AM - 12:30 PM (time/location/details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
