I have finished evaluating the forums for both of my World Lit sections, and I must say I disappointed. Once again (am I sounding like a broken record, yet?) I’d like to remind you that you cannot receive full credit for a forum unless you post more than once. I’ll remind you to have another [...]

The first grades have been posted for my online section of ENGL 2112: World Literature 2.

Beginning this semester, Spring 2009, I will be using Engrade for all my classes. Grades will no longer be available on Humanities Online. The best way to find out how you’re doing in the course is still to see me during my office hours so we can discuss your progress, but I know this is [...]

An I stands for an Incomplete and indicates that the student for non-academic reasons was unable to complete the requirements for a course. The instructor of the course and the student are to arrange for the course’s completion before the midterm of the next [...]

Letter grades are based upon a traditional ten-point scale. See individual course descriptions for specific weighted requirements. I do not transmit grades electronically at any time. I have no problem apprising you of your current standing in this class, but I will not do so over any electronic medium, including email or the phone. If [...]

The last of my grades have just been posted to Banner: World Literature at WRC (section 45) and my full-semester online section (03). Since Banner takes some time to release grades, I have also made them available on Engrade. To access your grades, go to Engrade Student Access, enter your Access Code (see below), and [...]

I have posted grades for my fall 2008 section of Media Criticism on Banner. I’m not sure when those grades are released — I’m not sure why it’s not immediate — so I have made them available on Engrade. To access your grades, go to Engrade Student Access, enter your Access Code (see below), and [...]
