Week 12 - Journal Pick up (mandatory) 4/2/09

Hello Fellow Learners,

As stated in the week 12 post, ALL STUDENTS MUST COME TO MY OFFICE today to; pick up their journal,papers,proficiency test and to discuss their mid-term grade.

Areas of concern:

1. A majority of students did not check their mid-term grades online.
2. A majority of students did not turn in their journal (as mentioned in class any student who did not turn in their journal prior to spring break would receive a letter grade of 'f'.)
3. A number of students did not attend the Asia:Reality & Image two day event.
4. A number of students are not checking into the course blog daily.
5. A number of student's journals could not be reviewed because they were not presentable as a aced mic vehicle.
6. A number of students are avoiding me - yes, me the instructor who is more accessible than all others. Example: Text messaging, emailing, phoning, blogging,extended office hours,after class visits...
7. A number of students are not attending class or entering in unruly fashion (thus the 15 minute agreement is officially over).

Areas of praise:

1. A number of students have delivered all of their material within course deadlines.
2. A number of students have requested and attended one-on-one meetings.
3. A number of students have proactively made commitments of correction to address their course obligations.
4. A number of students are attending the out of class activities offered as participatory points.
5. A number of students are attending their classes in a timely, respectful manner.
6. A number of students are relating the ENG1102 course work to their learning community studies.
