Grading

Hey guys

Assignments 1-7 have been graded. There's some important things to note about grading.

First is if you have a 0, it either means you didn't do an assignment or I can't find it. If it's the latter just let me know, it's not always easy to find stuff on a blog.

Second is if you aren't satisfied with your grade on a particular assignment, one option is to double check that you've followed the directions, put a bit more work into it and ask me to take another look. After all this is an experimental course so grading will be somewhat lenient. It's always a good idea to check out what other students are doing.

I want to say that overall I'm impressed with the work so far. Some people come to class often and participate in the discussions, I'm glad to hear your opinions. Others do fantastic work on your blogs and I haven't seen you since day 1. There are different ways to approach a class like this but both will be rewarded when it comes to the end of the term and I have to think about participation and final grades.

We've learned a variety of different tools, but some of the remaining lectures will likely be centered on "why" and "what if". The guest lecture this coming wednesday on copyright and IP is an example.
