I’ve had a few students ask about their grades. I use the TurnItIn.com gradebook, which is linked to the assignment scores that I’ve entered in GradeMark. I don’t post grades on this web site. Students have individual accounts on TurnItIn.com, and that web site provides a nice set of encryption and security options.

Students in my courses can log in to TurnItIn.com, click on the link for their course, and click the “My Grade” link as shown below. The data is just an example.

The total score includes the assignments that I’ve posted in TurnItIn.com. It may not cover the entire course. Keep in mind the final assignments and the final exam in my courses comprise a large part of the course grade.

Starting this afternoon, I will be offline until Monday, 15 October. Students who have questions about the current assignments should email me, but I might not respond until Tuesday, 16 October.

I’m disabling the comment features on this web site, as I won’t be able to moderate and respond to these comments over the weekend. In general, comments aren’t the best way for students to contact me. Email is always a good option.

I’ll post another reminder next week, but I will be off-island from 18 to 23 October. I will have limited Internet access during that time, and my email responses will take longer than usual.

Students, please plan ahead and send me your emails well before the next IS 6100 and IS 7010 assignments are due.

This web site and our TurnItIn.com sections will be available, of course.
