I’ve been away. I miss my Medaille students a great deal! (And if you are a GCC student, this isn’t your course website, you will not find your speech assignments here.)
I hope to be up and posting soon about new thoughts and adventures in communication and higher education. I’ve had some new thoughts, revelations perhaps? on Gebner’s Cultivation theory. And I’ve seen a ton of great movies that if I were teaching I’d be telling you all about!
So keep waiting, I’ll be back soon.
Your final grade is determined mathematically. Add all the points you earned this semester and divide it by all the points you could have earned.
5 tests at 50 points, the midterm and final at 100 points each. Network assignment was 35 points for turning it in. That’s 485 points total.
Not happy with your grade? Did you do the papers correctly? Did you turn everything in on time? I waited until 3pm today (Tues, May 5th 2009) –that a whole 24 hours extra–before entering grades, in case someone handed in their final LATE. Deadline was yesterday at 2:40.
If you are looking to contest your grade you must have valid reason to do so–please consider that before contacting me. Otherwise, have a great summer.
Just in case, the final (due 5/4) and the take home test (due 5/1) are both available here. Please be sure you real ALL the directions!!!!!
The rest of the test will be the usual multiple choice and true/false mix. I have broken the study guide into chapters. This test relies a lot on the notes we took, since some of that information is not the same as the text. Click on Keep Reading for the Study Guide and Take Home Essay!! Keep reading →
