Urban Planning - Lynch and Absences
All,
The Lynch grades are there, but apparently no one can see them. I tried re-revealing them yesterday to no avail, but I have another trick up my sleeve. Unfortunately, I have to wait to get in my office to try it, so just be patient.
As for all the questions I’ve been getting about absences - I’ll post absence grades in a special column on your My Grades WebCT page sometime this week so you can know how much, if any, you’ll be losing for absences greater than four. I don’t post them sooner to give time for all excuses to be processed. I’m not going to reply to individual requests about this except in extenuating circumstances.
That said, I’m not going to WA anyone, though some of you will be facing big deductions. Bear in mind that I look at your before-attendance and after-attendance grades, think about your participation in class, and compare how much of your attendance problem was absence and how much lateness BEFORE I enter final grades.
One last thing - for those of you frustrated by our various WebCT problems, know (1) that I am, too and (2) that the college is replacing WebCT next year with something more reliable and less… clunky. While WebCT worked wonderfully for going paperless last semester, it hasn’t this semester, and I’ve been more sympathetic in grading regarding your own tech problems because of it.
Okay! I’ll post here when Lynch has been reset, then when the glossary grades and exam grades are up respectively.
All the best - happy summer! - Prof. McS
