A gentle reminder………. These papers are the MAJOR part of your grade. They should
improve each week, At the beginning, students often
just ‘write something’ to get it out of the way.
If you are satisfied with a grade that is just passing- then that is your
choice. But remember- if your goal is to exempt
the exams- you cannot do that if you are careless with these papers
These papers are considered
a test grade. Initially, grading will be “generous”, but as the year goes on I
will expect
that your reflections
will be deeper and also reflect newly gained knowledge.
