Hi,

very soon all of us will be resting, on holidays.

About the portfolios: According to the rule, people who deliver the portfolio with delay will have points reduction. It also says that portolfios with more than 4 days delay won't be received. The last chance is: You ca bring it today, but I will discount 2 additional points. Bring it tomorrow and I won't receive it at all.

About the grades: I am checking your tests right now. The order in which the marks will appear in the system is this:

1º: Exam 1 - 15%
2º: Entensive Reading Exam 15%
3º: Portfolio - 15%
4º: Exam 3 - 20%
5º: Classwork and homework - 10%
6º: Texts, quizzes and oral presentations - 25%

There aren't any are only 2 grades in the system, yet. But soon there will be more.



Best regards,

JCA

Dear All:

I am writing this message to find a solution for a problem with an instruction in the last exam.

Some of you may have noticed that in the essay section we could read "Write one paragraph only." It was wrong because it contradicts with the rule; you may also remember that to write an essay you necessarily need to write introduction body and conclusion in different paragraphs. It's not possible to leave that section invalid because it was the core of the evaluation. I think the responsability is shared, so I am ginving you some alternatives here.

But there are some solutions:

Solution 1: Come to my office and take a look at your exam. Tell me where the introductiory and the body paragraphs finish. Just come and mark it. That way, I can ignore that you wrote one paragraph only.

Solution 2: If you feel that the wrong instruction reallt harmed your essay, come and take the essay part again, on Thursday morning. If you're taking this option, let me know by email so I know if I need a classroom or only the office.

If you don't come, it'll be very difficult to check your essay. So please come.

Best Regards,

Juan Chamorro A.
