Professor Jennifer McStotts’ Blog

All,
Practical #3 is fully posted. Took me longer than expected, obviously. If you think you are missing a file, let me know. Many people with As only got the rubric with typed comments. others got PDFs with comments because that went faster. If you think I got something wrong, just ask.
Happy finals and paper writing, and I’ll see you next week.
Oh, and in response to a couple questions I got after class:
1. Yes, I forgot to say it, but I would like the posters to be 2′ x 3′ or something close. 18″x24″ is not close enough, but you could double that and panel them together.
2. You don’t have to dress fancy, but business casual would be best.
See you Monday!
- Jennie

Thanks for your patience - the grades are up!
Prof. McS
PS We’ll be doing evaluations Friday, so I hope I’ll see you there and at that night’s Meet-and-Greet!

All,

I’m having a problem with WebCT - when I reply to people’s emails, my browser crashes. This has been happening since late last week, so I’m going to be reinstalling software over the next few days to try to eliminate the problem. I’ve replied to many emails, but if you haven’t gotten a response, either (1) wait a couple more days if it wasn’t time sensitive, or (2) email me outside of WebCT. You can also ask many questions of Meagan, who probably isn’t having the same issue.

I was sick over the whole of the weekend, so I am not where I’d like to be on grading. If you ask, the answer will be “I’m working on it.” I’ll post here when anything is graded and returned.

The PowerPoint for PLE for today is up.

Thanks - Prof. McS

All,

All UP Glossary writers,
The good news is that the glossaries are graded, saved in two places and test opened on both PCs and Macs. They are ready to upload, but(!) the bad news is, WebCT keeps stalling out on the files greater than 3MB, which is most of them. Since it is currently 4 a.m., I’m going to call it a night and finish the uploading of the files before and between classes. I imagine they will be up and released by 11 at the latest. Do email if there is still no grade showing at that time or if (heaven forbid) you can’t open the files.
Note, if you did a PPT, I may not be sending it back because I didn’t put comments on it. If you have questions, you know where to find me.
All the best - Prof. McS

Pres Law - The PowerPoint for today is up, and the Rehab Projects are still in progress.

Urban Planning - I have had a technical problem, but the Glossaries are almost complete. Look for them tomorrow (Thursday) on WebCT.

Best - Prof. McS
