Your Grades Are Posted

When I went in today for a meeting and to post your grades, I found myself one of the few professors on campus. Guess who ended up ad hoc advising and removing holds until 4:00? I did get your grades posted just before 5:00, but I haven't had a chance to email those of you who asked me to. For this I apologize. Please check your transcripts to see your grade. It usually takes 24 hours or less for grades to show up on your transcripts, but all depends on when the IT folks run the job.

If you have questions about your grade, please write. Do realize, I will be out of town much of next week. This last means I will not have access to my office, so I won't have access to any physical portfolios or my grading notes. I will have access to all online portfolios, so if you have questions about your grade, and you turned in an online portfolio, do feel free write and ask. As I don't know how often I will access to the net, I won't promise to respond prior to getting back in town on the 9th, but if I can, I will.

Thank you for the privilege of teaching you. Let me know if I can be of any help to you in future.

After the semester...

On Wednesday, I will turn in your grades, so you can begin checking online then.

This semester, I have decided to continue to do a series of posts to the class blog. Mostly, these are resources to help you in your 112 classes and in your continued development as a writer. Don't worry. There won't be any homework involved. These will be there for your use.

As always, write with questions, etc.

On turning your portfolios in, grading, etc.

I will try to work in the office as much as possible over the next two days, that is, Monday and Tuesday. My office is in 322 Georgiadis on the Parham Road campus. If you should stop by to turn in your portfolio and not find me there, please turn in your portfolio at the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences office in Burnett. They will time stamp your portfolio for you. Every year, I get portfolios which are slid under my door. Twice over the past fifteen years, portfolios have been lost; so, I can't be responsible if you decide to submit your portfolio by sliding it under the door. You have better options for publishing it to me.

All of the above has applicability if you are turning in a physical copy of your portfolio instead of one in pdf or as a google document. My current plans are to begin reading a grading the portfolios Tuesday morning and continue grading and turn in grades on Wednesday.

There are always students who wait until the last minute to try to do the work for the class and who find just how much work there is to do. If you are among this group, please note: If I don't have a portfolio from you, and I have had no communication, I will turn in a failing grade; so, turning in something or, at the very least, getting in touch with me is to your advantage. If you have a legitimate reason for not getting the work to me, get in touch. My home number is 804-262-8585 and my email is prof.brandon@gmail.com. I will listen, and if the reason is substantial, legitimated, and documented, and I do and have offered incompletes to students.
