This gives us time to correct the mountain of work handed in,
put it in the grade book, assign comment codes and export when
administration opens the "window". As always, I post grades every 2 weeks.
All Global Studies students should be aware of the grade and missing work.
Lists of missing work had been distributed every 2 weeks to the students or
are available by seeing the posted grades.
4 & 8 week Progress Reports are on view on Infinite Campus. They are not mailed.
Trimester report cards will continue to be mailed.
