(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.

This whole blackboard thing was so new to me. I mean, it makes sense, technologically, and is pretty efficient. But, ya know, I finished shool in the mid 90's, and it was an effort to get most professors to understand how to open attachments, at time. in '05, when Sara went back to school, I was amazed at how much less time she spent on campus than I did, back in the "old days". yay, computers.
