Reading assessments

Today we read Cinder Edna, and then completed the departmental reading assessment. If you were not in class I will need you to do it next week. It isn't for grades, but is rather a piece of formative assessment - it allows me to see what you know.

Web discussion questions are now live and commenting will be open until Monday morning. Web commenting is worth 10% of your grade. You are allowed 2 "free weeks" - that is, weeks where you do not comment. Every other comment missed is a deduction of 1 point. There are 18 weekends this semester, so if you participate in 12 web discussions, you will receive 6/10. If you participate in 16, you will receive 10/10. You are welcome to follow the discussion and comment more than once. Web comment questions also make for great dinner table conversation!

Enjoy the weekend.
