Fall Term:
Grades in Angel may not reflect grades submitted in KCConnect! Borderline grades may have
improved due to attendance &/or whether you took extra credit opportunities.
Look at your TOTAL POINTS in Angel right now! I use a straight scale:
540 & Up = A
This grade level requires a student to demonstrate achievement which is of
OUTSTANDING quality relative to the level necessary
to meet course required outcomes.
480 - 539 = B
This grade level requires a student to demonstrate achievement which is of HIGH quality relative to the level necessary to meet course required outcomes.
420 - 479 = C
This grade level requires a student to demonstrate achievement which is of SATISFACTORY quality, meaning one has just meet course required outcomes.
360 - 419 = D
This grade level requires a student to demonstrate achievement which is BELOW SATISFACTORY quality, meaning one has NOT met the minimum course required outcomes.
Below 360 = F
This grade level requires a student to FAIL to demonstrate achievement of the minimum course required outcomes due to either failure 1) work not completed; or 2) work at a level of achievement not worthy of credit.
Please...DO
NOT email me or leave a voicemail asking about a grade on a specific asgn
or paper before you have pick it up or look at your returned asgn & read the explanation
comments as to why you received the grade. I do not have them on me &
I can't remember every comment.
If you find you have a submission which has been graded but the grade is
NOT in Angel or perhaps I have added incorrectly or something simple like
this, it is not a problem! "Hakuna
Matata" :-) Please simply bring the hard copy to L355 with a note
& leave it for me in the black file cabinet. I will be happy to take care
of this & email you when you can pick it back up. Easy solution should
this type of error occur. Remember your professors are human! It is not that
we are careless but rather make mistakes just like ALL humans do.
If after you read my comments on your work, you find it is added up correctly &
entered correctly but you would like to discuss your grade with me, I would be HAPPY
to do so if you could simply email me some times you would be available keeping my schedule in mind. I will try to have my schedule posted the Sunday before classes begin so you can take a look what might work
for you for the following week. My current spring class schedule is posted on my personal Main
webpage and your class webpage.
Make sure to also look over your syllabus, calendars with due dates & handouts with SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
for asgn!
I do not expect to be able to read email over the Holiday Break as I am now in a hard cast & soft cast, so far. I will however get back to you ASAP once classes begin.
UPDATE: I am currently on Medical Leave so far through the week of Feb 22nd. Please do however do the same & I will take care of it ASAP.
Keep all your work until your grade reflects the points you earned. KCC's policy
is for faculty to keep your work for up to 1 year. Anything I still have at
this point will be shredded.
It was a pleasure meeting all of you and walking down the path with you to
learn why humans and animals think and behave the way they do. Remember life is a path of constant improvement. Take those things that did
not go well for you this term & use them to improve upon the next term! Have a lovely Holiday break! Have fun and Relax! Please keep in touch! Don't forget if you transfer to a University to check out the psychology department schedules
even if you are not majoring or minoring in it. Many times you may just need
some hours for your total to graduate & you will find wonderful individual
topic courses sometimes for just 1 or 2 hours even - like the Psych & WWII courses I took a few summers ago.
If you need any assistance about psychology in the future, please feel free
to contact me. Remember to use your psychology information from this course
in your future courses...great to extend on topics for a speech or paper etc!
Best wishes to all of you wherever your path takes you!
