Writing Assignment 3

I am canceling Writing Assignment 3. Just not enough time.

Here is the procedure I will follow:

1. Grade Writing Assignment 2, from 1 up to 8 points, as usual.... if you dropped it into the drop box #2. You guys who were late, do not sweat: I will grade it with the rest of the papers.
2. For everyone who has a paper in Writing Assignment 2, I will pencil in straight 8 points for Writing Assignment 3.

For example, if I grade your WA2 paper as 5/8, your total on the two assignments will be 13/16.

Summary analytical test

All online students:

Before the final exam, go take the "Summary analytical test, semester end" in the separate GEP PSC1121 10Spring area of Webcourses. It wraps up our departmental analysis for the semester.

Resubmit your paper, one more time for points

OK, I have eyeballed all the TurnItIn.com plagiarism checks. Good.

Next move, resubmit your paper one more time in the Webcourses drop box labeled "Writing assignment 2, drop #2" -- it's in the Writing Assignments folder, and it's marked with the circular yellow DROP icon. Just paste the text in the textbox, very simple.

Get this done before midnight, Saturday night.

Then I can start grading up your papers for points.

Best two midterms are UP.

I just activated the row in your My Grades page that calculates the sum of the top two midterm exam scores. This sum goes into your semester grade.

Writing assignment 2 is UP.

Look in the Week 14 learning module for the instructions page for Writing Assignment 2. You can hand it in starting Thursday morning, and due date is next Wednesday, April 21, at 11:59 PM.

Note: writing assignment 3 will be final revision of this assignment, so if you do a top notch job on Writing Assignment 2, you only need ditto marks for Writing Assignment 3. Work hard.

Writing Assignment 2 nearly ready

We are proof-reading the instructions for writing assignment 2. I hope to release the instructions tonight or tomorrow morning. The due date will be April 21, next Wednesday.

Module for this week is UP.

Your chapter 21 learning module is now up for this week. Lots of currents and light bulb concepts.

What a launch for space shuttle Discovery!

What a great liftoff for orbiter Discovery.

It was interesting that about the time the solid rocket engines cut out, maybe a little later, there was a deep rumble outside my apartment in Casselberry: the sound of the engines during launch finally reached here from Kennedy 39A. Excellent.
