What's a reasonable portion of the course grade to be determined by the midterm and final for a University course? Does 20% sound good?
I use to have the final count more than the midterm, because I figured the students should have learned something in the meantime. (I think it was something like: final = 20%, midterm = 15%, various papers = 5% each [usually one a week--I taught Freshman comp], a couple of pop quizes = 5% each, final journal = 5%) No one failed for having a lousy day, but no one could coast to an A without doing most of the work.
We're doing projects, rather than exams, so it's not a single day. There seems to be a culture in the department of a high weight put on participation and working with mentor teachers in local schools.
You're all Professory, Abi!
I just finished my syllabi.
Fear my academianinity.....umm....
Next, I set up record-keeping.
Also, I'm on a committee at church. Well, a committee and a task-force.
I feel like such a grown-up.
I've found a lovely site for folks who like looking at antiques and vintage clothes, etc, 1stdibs.com. I found this lovely dress [link] and there are dozens of other dealers in clothes etc. Hours of browsing, drooling fun.
You rock, Profesoresa Debet!
connie, that link is both fabulous and evil.
Not a professor at this point, though I might see if maybe this time I can get my students to call me "Mistress" (I have my Masters)
