End of Term Business

11 December 2013 As announced weeks ago, tomorrow, Thursday, is your last day for taking the final exam. I will be on campus by 0900, and you have until noon to finish. I will be on campus Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week, but not on the class schedule. If you wish to see me to learn your final grade, email me at mhall46184@aol.com so we can agree on a time. You are also welcome to see your graded final exam. Please do not ask to turn in a late paper or for test re-takes. Dual-credit Jasper High School students – please see Mrs. Clark this week or on Monday of next week to work out your schedule. BlackBoard is switched off between terms, and will not be available until 21 January. Why? I don’t know; it is a great mysteru. Angryverbs.blogspot.com has begun telling me that my browser is out of date. I will try to post the syllabus for English 1302 on angryverbs.blogspot.com before term, but the operative word here is the verb “try.” Enjoy your hols, and maintain the excellent habit of reading the books you want to read.

Teacher Survey

2 December 2013 To: All English 1301 Students From: Mr. Hall Subject: Instructor Survey As directed, I have posted (with much assistance from Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Hancock, Mrs. Singleton, and Dr. McKinney) the instructor survey on BlackBoard. You may access it at will. You may also ignore it at will End-of-term surveys really do help administration make student-oriented decisions in staffing, so respond frankly, even if you are not Frank or Frances; I will never see the survey forms and so will not know whose doorstep should be graced with a dead hamster in the middle of the night. I note that the survey does not ask what one thinks of BlackBoard. Cheers, Ol’ Mr. H
