Daily Message Oct. 6

Good Morning,

Apologies for the later than usual post today. I know some of you who are early-birds or have tiny children pop in early quite early to get the update. I did want to hold off, however, until I could say that every last blessed essay exam for Module 3 had been returned. And they have.

On the whole, these were not great. Raw scores ranged from about 48/60 to 57/60. Those don't sound like terrible scores (80-95%), but I was grading very, very gently, and I will not be grading gently on the next exam.

I'd like to take a day to think about these (and finishing reviewing your Module 3 reflections) before I comment further on the exam. Based on these exam results, we'll need to make some changes with the process for Module 5, which is right around the corner and also requires a written exam.

As for this week, remember that if you're going to submit a draft of your Mod 4 project for instructor review, you must do so by 11:59 p.m. tonight. I'll do my best to get you some quick feedback by the end of the day on Thursday.

For those of you who are cruising along and looking for stuff to do, Module 5 is up today and available on the course home page.

Have a good day.

Julie
