Dear Classes, Part 2

Hey MM199ers! I had really hoped to leave my office more victorious. I am, for the most part, finished grading the online class. I have not gone back in to add extra credit or firm up small points here and there. If you did receive an email from me, now IS the time to spring into action.

For my M/W troopers, I am still grading. I have 15 blogs to go. Six are quick, easy rereads, so I will sail through those. (yes, I do have my favorites that I've read faithfully each week). I have not added in extra credit or gone back to the smaller assignments.

Be patient. By Thursday, you will know your grade for sure. For now, I am going to go count some sheep.


Dear Class:

I think I might understand why some of you fell behind on your blogs. Although one post a week isn't so bad, but grading all 20 from 40(ish) of you at once isn't recommended.

Next semester, I might only going require five posts from each student. #iloveblogs

First Amendment meets hacktivists

Normally, I am all for the First Amendment. But sometimes, a person tires of the stupidity of a certain group of people.

Given the tragic events of Dec. 14, some folks decided enough was enough and took a stance against the WBC, or the clan of hate as we think of them in Topeka, Kan.

  Read all about it. Are the hackers here heroes or foes? You decide.

I am loving these numbers!

Our hit total to date is 18,636

A few of you are resisting pressure to add the counter! But here is the complete list of numbers I have for today. I imagine the rest of the class would push us over 20,000 hits. Yeah! You guys have done a great job. 20 posts. Deadline for all 20 posts and technical requirements are due Thursday.

Comment here if you are done and excited!
