Folks, the Faust grades are in, and they are pretty poor. Some of the class has dropped, and others have stopped doing the forums all together. However, those of you who hope to pass the class must post in the forums each week. This means more than posting a perfunctory question. You must write in [...]

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. While we had some fine observations on the first Tartuffe forum, the “Viewing Tartuffe Forum” had a class average of 1.6. Ouch. Be sure you understand how to write in the forum: that all forums are worth 10 points [...]

For those of you taking an online class in which there are reading quizzes to be completed, I’d like to remind you what I said the first day of class: your short answers will often be marked incorrect by the computer. Computer’s are dumb. Therefore, I double-check everything before giving you a final grade. Do [...]

All gradebooks are now ready and available to students. In order to view your grades, follow the instructions to login. If you do not have your student ID (your social security number will not work), you should be able to log into Banner to get that information. For my World Literature II Online section: you [...]

As of this weekend, my gradebooks for World Lit and London as Text are current. Tomorrow, I will give each class directions for accessing your grades online via Engrade. Henceforth, it will be your responsibility to keep up with your grades and discussing with me any assignments you have missed and your intentions about submitting [...]

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 [...]

This course will strictly abide by University and departmental policies regarding incompletes: An incomplete can only be given if a small portion of the course work is missing and if you’re doing otherwise satisfactory work. “I” grades are not assigned automatically, but only upon consultation with me. You have one semester to remove an “I” [...]

Letter grades are based upon a traditional ten-point scale. See individual course descriptions for specific weighted requirements. I do not transmit or discuss grades via email 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 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 [...]
