08/23/2005: "Grades So Far"

I have prepared a mini progress report for assignments and class activities through August 22nd.
According to the syllabus you will recall that late work that is not excused with a late pass will receive zero points. Assignments never submitted also receive zero. Occasionally, students will not have submitted make up work or absentee assignments before the progress report is printed. Of course in these instances, the next report will reflect any adjustments to grades necessitated by the submission of such assignments.

This is only week three...please view these interim reports as:
1. A reassurance that your student is on track, consistent and assiduous in timely performance of assignments.
2. A timely reminder of the folly of being late.
3. The rewards of always striving to the best that one is capable of.
Please reinforce the desired performance, i.e. on time, on task, always trying one's best.

Note also that I won't be writing grades on assignments themselves. This is for privacy. Feedback will be written on work as required, but the actual points will be recorded and issued on these types of grade reports.

Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss grades and progress of your student.
