Your grades have been posted...

Your grades have been posted.

The grades you earned have been recorded. It may take the college a day or two to process and post them to your student records. To look at them, go to your VCCS student account--the one you use to sign up for classes--and look under transcript or degree progress.

Thanks for the good semester. If you have any questions about your grades, please get in touch with me early next week. I'll also be happy to return physical portfolios.

Sorry for the confustion this morning...

It's 9:30, and I am in the office.


Sorry for the confustion. For the past week, I've been driving my wife's old '69 Bug, while she's been driving my car. I've been driving the Bug because of a gas leak. This morning on the way in to pick up portfolios, the Bug ran out gas, so for once, it's the professor who was running late to a final.



As I said in a very early post about everyone needing to make late posts once in a while, life happens to everyone, even professors. The good thing about life happening to me--at least for you--is that each time it does, I create a get out of jail free card for the entire class, and it either gives you a tad bit of extra credit or strikes a late from your class participation grade.



For those who might be worried, I am fine, and the car is fine. It's parked beside the side of the road. A kind administrative assistant gave me a ride in and left the note on my office door, so I was able to get everyone's portfolios, but--again--I do apologize for the confusion.

Examples of effective portfolios and reflective cover essays for ENG 241.

Examples of effective portfolios and reflective cover letter/essays from ENG 241.

Note, I wanted to get these up sooner rather than later, and it's the first time I've offered example portfolios to students; so, I have yet to any commentary as to what you'll find with each example. Some are full portfolios. Some are only the reflective cover essay. Almost all are examples of "A" level work. I'll try to provide some annotation by early next week.

In addition to the link above, I've added a link to the example page in this week's assignments. Look under: "Reading for the Week."

As always, write with questions.

Examples of Effective ENG 111 Course Portfolios

I have posted this link in this week's assignments, but here it is another time.  Remember, suspenders and belt are best insurance.

I am looking for examples for ENG 241; but, so far, I've only found a few, and I wanted to give you as much lead time as possible. 

As always, write with any questions.
