Week 7 Weekly Podcast: Paper 2

February 26, 2008

We are using this week to focus on Paper 2 and rewrites of Paper 1 for those of you who will need to do that. Both will be due by midnight on Sunday. You will find comments on your graded papers in the My Grade area. Be sure to download the file that I uploaded to you. Listen the following podcast to hear the guidelines for the 2nd paper and the rewrite guidelines.

I am really impressed with the number of A’s and B’s so far in this course. Some of you are kicking booty! Grades always improve in the second half of the semester, so B’s and C’s usually end up being A’s and B’s. Unfortunately, most people who are failing now, usually end up failing the course. That’s most, but not all. There’s still hope for you, but you have to make it happen. Come see me if you need help. If you want it; it can happen!

Be patient with your progress. Keep up with the reading and the assignments. If you miss one, don’t freak out. Just take a deep breath and get it done as soon as you can. I can’t believe the number of people who give up because they’re a few assignments behind. Quitting takes more effort than getting caught up. Do that instead. I don’t get very many visitors in my office asking for help. Come see me.

The last day to withdraw from a class without instructor signature is this Friday, so if you are planning on dropping a class, you might want to do it by Friday. After Friday, you will need to obtain an instructor signature, which means you will have to go see that instructor and talk to him/her.
