We completed the final essay exam today. Some students also completed the Grammar Exam 2. I am expecting 50 out of 50.
Students are to bring in the Social Entrepreneur essays tomorrow. We will meet in A-232.
Bring in the Alice Walker handout for the next few days. We will complete it. There is one more Pidd essay due, SV AGR. It is not a test and students can email it to me by Thursday, May 12, 2011.
If you make too many errors on any of the remaining essays: book report or SE, even HTS, you will have to write a correction essay. If any of the errors we have penalized Stewart Pidd on this semester show up in your essays, you will be dinged where it hurts--the GPA.
Pay attention to details. Do not send me drafts. I will not be giving students line by line comments for anymore essays. Learn from your errors and do better. For the SE essay, you get the grade you get after one revision with a correction essay.
The two portfolio essays cannot be revised. I made copies of the play Ruined and I really wanted to read it (smile).

Response to Syllabus
After reviewing the syllabus, I am excited about the material we will be covering. Tupac Shakur was someone who’s music I enjoyed, especially during high school. I have read and watched biographies/documentaries about him, which were all very inspiring. He is a complicated yet intelligent individual who I definitely am excited to learn and explore more about.
As for the Literature Circles, I have to admit I am a little nervous about it. I usually don’t like to work in groups. I will definitely try to keep an open mind and do my best to participate but I’m not so confident about how the experience will go.
I appreciate your grading method, its pretty fair. I like the idea of having a portfolio of all of our work throughout the semester because then it can really show not only all the work we’ve done but also where we started and hopefully the improvements we’ve made.
All in all, the syllabus is very thorough in addressing what we will be learning and after reading what is expected of us in the “student learning outcomes” section, I am looking forward to evaluating my skills and knowledge from where I began in the course to the end of the course.
