Final Feedback and Grades

By Saturday evening (May 21) each of you will have received feedback regarding your final projects. The feedback will be uploaded to your Final Projects subfolder within your personal private folder. Both Vito and I reviewed your final work—in most cases you'll get feedback from either Vito or myself. In a small number of cases you'll find feedback from both of us.

Since the feedback typically consists of more than one file, I have zipped your feedback folder and then uploaded it. The name of the file you'll be looking for in your Final Project folder is: YourName_Final_Feedback.zip. So, for example, Meighen's feedback file will be Meighen_Final_Feedback.zip. You'll need to unzip the file after you download (for some of you this "unzipping" will be done automatically).

The intent of the formative feedback you received from your draft work was to be extensive and helpful towards creating an excellent final product. The intent of the summative feedback is to provide you with scores for each project (paper and research aloud) and very short qualitative feedback. Thus you'll find, in most cases, that the feedback you receive for the final project is much shorter than for your draft work—this is intentional.

One key caveat: the scoring rubrics do not contain any relevant point deductions based on turning in your work late—these point deductions will be done later in the grading process. However, there's only a very small number of people that received point deductions for late work.

Grades will also be submitted by Saturday night. I have no idea when they become accessible to you, but at least you'll know when they'll be posted!
