TurnItIn bonus UP; mini-case study in process.

I just put up the bonus point for registering at TurnItIn.com, and you can see it in your My Grades page.

Also, I am in the process of grading mini-case study questions, and everyone who has posted their two questions as of 8 AM Saturday has a score. This is just me getting a head start. Those who post later on will be graded later; deadline is still Tuesday, Sept. 4, 11:55 PM.

Grades so far: mostly 6 points, a few 5s and 4s. I also inserted a comment area about your mini-case study questions, like if I really like it or if it had some problems. Not everybody got a comment though, if the question looked good.

I will also start grading the Oceans/Visbeck question today.

Continue digging in on the Sir Isaac Newton Learning Module, especially the study activities listed in the concept guides.

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.

Due date is Sept. 4, next Tuesday, at 11:55 PM. You will post your writing inside the Discussions area. Click on the man-carrying-pencil icon on our homepage inside Webcourses for full instructions.
