Turning in your portfolios + getting your grades

I have returned your revised essays 3/4 so you should have all you need to finish your portfolios. If you didn't turn in revisions for Essay 3/4 - I will give you comments with your portfolio.

I have portfolios from about 6 of you - and the rest of you will turn in your work at the Diner on Thursday.

Grades-
I will read through your portfolios as soon as possible - and send you a gradesheet with comments. The gradesheet will list all comments on work, points, and your grade. Hopefully I will have your grades to you by Saturday or Sunday.

Look over your gradesheet - and get back to me if you have questions or comments. If I don't hear from you by Tuesday, I will assume that you are OK with your grade, and I will post it on Keanwise.

At the Diner (University Diner on North Avenue at @:00 pm on Thursday) - we will share work, read favorites, eat and talk. You are a great class - I really got a lot out of this course. Thank you for your good writing.

Monday you will work on your porfolios. I will bring a computer you can burn your CDs on if you need to. Your classmates and I will be available for feedback or support on anything you are working on.

You posted Blog 24 with the feedback for the course (thank you).

I will do my best to read through revised Essay 3/4 and have your grades/comments returned by Monday.

We will meet at the University Diner (just to the right of the Kean Parking Lot, on North Avenue) on Thursday - and have a farewell class. You are invited to bring anything you are working on to read. We will eat and read and talk.

Have a great weekend, and see you Monday.

December 8

Most of you gave presentations on the publication venues - we have one group left

The gentlemen at the back of the room will give their presentation on Thursday. You will then do some writing to reflect on the course and think about your future as a writer - and if there is any time left you will work on your portfolios. I will bring a computer to burn CDs for anyone who will need that kind of assistance.

The calendar has you turning in your final portfolio on Monday (the Diner Day). If that seems like it is not going to give you enough time - we can have a pizza-in-the-conference room along with burning CDs final class. We can talk about this on Thursday.

For Thursday: Post Revised Essay 3/4 on your Blog
