Monday/Tuesday Classes Cancelled!!

English 103.0887 and 103.0888 Classes,

Congratulations on all of your hard work and for being able to complete the first draft of your research paper! It wasn't easy, that's certain. I still haven't received everyone's drafts so I hope I will be getting them soon! In fact, to award you further for your completion of the draft, I have decided to grade your drafts not based on the official rubric but based on the completion of the assignment itself i.e. I will give you the full 10% if you were able to submit a completed draft before the designated deadline, give you feedback on the essay itself, and state what grade your essay could potentially get 'so far'. This way, you can take the next 3 weeks to revise without having to worry about revising to bring your 'draft grade' up and just worry about your final product!

So, for the draft, I'm not giving you a 'grade' as I have been giving your previous assignments. You will get the full 10% as long as you have submitted it on time and provided a completed work. Just like other assignments, for every class day that it is late, I will deduct one "grade point" which will be percentages taken off the full 10%. If you have not submitted your papers by 5 today, then whether you send it as soon as you read this or you send it before your classes on Monday/Tuesday (depending on your section) you will still be getting one grade point taken off. So if you are not done yet, might as well finish it then send it!

As for Monday/Tuesday classes, we do not have a full class. You are just required to come to class for 5 minutes to meet with me to talk about your paper aka "conferences". If you were absent on Wednesday/Thursday, you must sign up for a time that you can come. I will post the times that are still available for both classes. If you were absent, please leave a comment to this blog entry OR email me and let me know what time you can come.

Eng 103.0887, I do not have a copy of the times that everyone has signed up for. So please, email/reply to this blog stating the time you signed up for please!

Eng 103.0888, these are the times still available:
2:25-2:30
2:50-2:55

Again, congratulations on all your hard work! Take the weekend off to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather!


Best Wishes,
Ginger
