Ocean currents, Visbeck essay = graded now

OK, I just finished grading up the last few dozen postings in the "Ocean currents, Visbeck essay" discussion, a one point bonus assignment from the first week to-do list. A number of you have been buzzing me in course mail about it, so now it is finished up. YAY!

Next objective: grade up the Universal Leonardo-North Korea mini-case study!!

Grading and patience

Please be patient with the grading process for mini-case study questions. It takes time. I have over 300 questions to read!!! They will be getting graded, a few dozen at a time, but not instantaneously, like the chapter mini-quizzes. So the fewer course mail messages about when will my questions be graded? - the sooner they WILL be graded!

In the meantime, concentrate on the learning module, using the three concept guides to guide your way.

Mini-case study is ready to go.

The mini-case study is now up and available to start working on. It involves some reading on an excellent web site about Leonardo da Vinci and an article in Nature about the North Korea nuclear test last fall.
