I have finished grading all the work for the course and submitted course grades in HokieSpa. As a reminder, I use a Scholar’s default grade scale (no rounding). Thank you so much for your work this term. Have a great summer.

Unsubscribing from the Course Website and Twitter Updates

If you subscribed to the course website at the beginning of the term, you probably want to unsubscribe now. Look for an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email message that you get from the course website.

If you were following the course Twitter account (@HokieTengrrl), just go the the page in Twitter and click the Unfollow button.

Moving Forum Posts

I’ve moved the forum posts to a private archive, so that students in the future won’t find your work and get confused. Only people who were in the course can see those messages now. The messages are no longer available to the general public.

This is the post for the week of May 5, 2015.

This is the last week of class. You will complete peer review for the sixth project and then submit your final by 11:55 PM Tuesday, 5/12. There is NO grace period for the final.

Course Evaluation

If you have not done so already, please fill out the Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPOT) survey for this course. I do not see the feedback until June (after grades are submitted), and your comments are anonymous.

The feedback helps the department make important decisions about teaching methods, course content, and faculty promotion. Written comments help me decide what to keep or change the next time I teach the course.

This is the post for the week of April 21, 2015 class meeting.

Today, you will read through the assignment for the final exam, read related information from the textbook, and post any questions you have.
