Plan for 12/18/01

Also, Courtney asked me how I'm going to grade the class.  Here is my answer to her:

I grade the class almost purely on attendance. Each class hour counts for 1/15 of the grade. The final is your final evaluation of your own goals. That's why I have asked each person to email me an evaluation  at this point, so they can look at their goals again and make sure they're on track. If you have missed

classes you might be able to raise your grade by a thorough final self-evaluation. I don't mean that you have to meet all your goals. I mean you should analyze your goals and say which you met and why and which you didn't meet and why. This kind of evaluation will help you set better goals in the future and understand your own learning process.

So everyone, please write me up a few paragraphs telling what you learned this semester.
