Put the grade next to the assignment. Your average is your course grade so far. Remember, your grade is based on writing passing essays – C and above. A C- is not a passing grade. Fill this out and give to me with your CD or disk on or before the day of the final completed. I will add your course grade.

The major essays are the ones based on “Total Chaos,” plus the final essay and midterm. Check this against the blog. Also check the blog for cyber-assignments. The more detailed description of the narrative essays is posted separately.

Note: For the final presentations, Tuesday, Dec. 1, we will hopefully get through them in 60 minutes as I have a video on Revision Strategies which I think will help you on the second narrative. I also want to show students examples of portfolios. Please rehearse your presentation, each student will have no more than 10 minutes. Don't forget your abstracts. We will start on time.
