Grades are in and the semester is officially over! Email me if your stressing out about not being able to see your grade and I'll let you know.
Thank you all for being a part of my class this semester. It didn't play out the way anyone hoped and I really wish we could've finished all the projects and other weirdness y'all had gotten started this semester, but mother nature had other plans. Regardless, I'm very happy for the time we had at the beginning of the semester as well as how we kept putting one foot in front of the other and kept moving forward. To me, this semester was a reminder that often times the most important learning in a school has nothing to do with the content learned, but the intangible skills that are needed to have a happy, successful and meaningful life. For this semester, that skill learned was how to deal with adversity and uncertainty. Whatever your challenges and struggles have been these past months (and beyond), take solace in the knowledge that you will grow stronger from this and better able to overcome your next obstacle. For those curious about parts of the classroom they may have missed:
Thank you all again for taking the time to participate in my class however you did so. And I hope it goes without saying, but I would love to have all of you back in my class again in the future (Foundations -> Concepts -> Applications -> R&D) or even for you to stay in touch, whether that is stopping by the class or reaching out whenever you'd like. Until then, stay safe and keep on hanging in there.

Just giving a one week warning on final grades! The assignments you see in Synergy now are all the assignments that are going to appear until the end of the semester. This includes the SMART goal and response for this week as well as the final learning reflection. Additionally, there will be no final exam (consider that percentage in the grade book effectively exempted). But regardless, here is the final exam schedule for all of your classes incase you missed it:
For all Seniors, grades are due TOMORROW, May 12th! I think you are all set, but reach out to me with any last second concerns and I'll work with you. I'll try to get in touch with you all because I feel like I missed out of sending you my parting love, but I do want to say I have been thinking of you each every day and it meant the world to me to see some of you at the drive-by-graduation. For all non-Seniors, grades are due on May 18th (next Monday), and I am perfectly happy entering grades or any remediated assignments up to that date. It is my goal for everyone to be happy with their grade this semester so it is not a distraction from more important things (such as your health, your mental well-being, and your excitement to learn to name a few...) so I am more than happy to stay flexible in accommodating to whatever your concern or need is. You just have to reach out to me and let me know! I'll follow up here next week with a 100% voluntary survey and to send my farewells, but in the meantime, I hope you and your families are staying safe and that you're finding some sort of direction or meaning in these unusual times. Hey all you cool cats and kittens! It's been a minute since the last post, so hope all is well. Just giving an update on the last few assignments for this class. The only remaining assignments for this semester (which are all put in synergy now) are:
There is no final exam, so consider those points in the gradebook exempted. And of course, the 5 grades above ^ will still only be entered in the gradebook if they help your overall grade. The learning reflection format and grading will be the same as previously so I won't go into detail on it (but please ask if you are uncertain), but here are the resources you need to get it done:
Lastly, as there are now less than three weeks until school is officially over, if you have any grade concerns make sure to reach out to me. Even if you have been AWOL for awhile I am more than happy to be flexible and work with you to make sure you are happy with the ending of the semester. |
