Directions for using this page.  Look in the alphabetical list below for the anonymous "code name" you submitted with your form in the first week of the course, and read across your row to see what I've recorded for grades.  Notify me of any inaccuracies, such as a blank for work you've posted or emailed, or an inaccurate total.  If I've missed something or if you are submitting work more than a week late, e.g. a forum submission, please email it to me at ehibbison@jsr.vccs.edu If your email is out for a while, you can use the link  above, left (a form where you can paste work), or send hard copy to me at

* "R" in the essay grade column means that you are invited to revise to develop your essay more fully.  No points are added to your total at this time, but by revising according to the guidelines I send you via email or that we discuss on the phone, you should end up with a grade above C for the essay and have at least 80 - 90 points or more added to your grade when I evaluate your revision.

** Extra-credit tasks can be selected by students at any time during the semester or offered by the instructor.  Typically worth up to 20 points per page (20-25 lines), the extra-credit must merit an A or B to count (at least 16 points per page).  Currently, the black numbers in this column signify an introduction written for classmates.  (The purple numbers are something else initiated by the student, perhaps from the extra-credit tasks.)

Supply a Code Name for Your Row

* Code Name: Make up and email me a "code name" that we can use to keep this current grade report private, anonymous, and legal.  The challenge is to make up a code name that none of your classmates or others will know--but which you will recognize when you click to this page to check your grades.  For example, my nickname at one cyber place is "Bohemian"; this handle isn't something evident from my bio, but anybody who sees the photo of me at left (top) from 1974 might think the moniker fits, though the photo from 1999 (bottom) doesn't look very "bohemian."

Grade Tracks

The chart below shows that students who wish a top grade must work with more complex readings for a couple of modules (yellow vs. peach backgrounds), though everyone does the introductory modules, a spoken presentation, and a final essay (aqua background).  Details for these modules are linked from the Course Calendar.

Midterm Grade

The anonymous grade reports posted above during the course will include your midterm assessment. That is, whatever your total is should be compared to the "prorated grade scale" to make sure you are on pace for the course grade you want. 

If I see trouble before midterm, I may try to contact you. If you see trouble, try to contact me so we can work on a solution that will help you pass the course.  You can think of your presentation as a "midterm" project, if that will help you excel on it.
