Deadline

MON MAY 04 before class.

All 6 items must be in the Portfolio before class meets MON MAY 04. During class MON MAY 04, we will conduct a “Portfolio Double-check” to verify that portfolios are complete.

Grading

Your professor will have less than 48 hours to read and grade the entire set of portfolios in time for Grade Conferences. Therefore, penalties will be severe for any portfolio not complete by 6:30 PM, MON MAY 04.

Grade Conferences

The final day of scheduled classes, WED MAY 06, will be devoted to personal one-on-one Grade Conferences. Conferences generally require just 10 minutes, but are compulsory.

Visit the Professor Conference page (the same one we’ve used all semester) to schedule your end-of-semester Grade Conference.

Among other things, conferences provide the opportunity for professor and student to come to agreement about the student’s final grade. Students who miss their grade conferences will have little recourse to challenge those grades.

Posting Final Grades

Final Grades will be submitted shortly after Grade Conferences, perhaps as early as the morning of THU MAY 07.
