(no subject)

I just came across this as I read through the syllabus for one of my classes:

"Everyone will start this course with a "B", the standard grade for graduate level work. Students who follow all the requirements of each assigment and complete them on time, including participation in discussions posted in Blackboard, will receive the B, as long as the quality of their written work meets the standard for the University...Remember, a "B" grade is a good grade. It shows that you have satisfactorily demonstrated potential for professional achievement in this subject."

What?! It sounds like he is saying he doesn't give "A"s. I need to contact him about this and see what his requirements are for an A. Hmm. I don't like the sound of this.

Ahh.. see, the professor said he hadn't yet figured out the grading part on Blackboard so he's not using that for our class. :> I can understand how it would be easier for them. I guess I'm old school and trying to get used to the "new way" things are done. I'd never even heard of Blackboard until the night of my first class and the prof was like "You all did the reading I assigned on Blackboard, right?" o_O

Ahh, so it sounds like he's still learning how to use it. That always makes things painful in a class. Hopefully it will get better!
