Evaluations

Well, it appears we've once again reached that awkward point of the year where you're planning your pathos-laden tale designed to persuade me into giving you a grade you don't deserve, or worse yet, to beg me for that incomplete that: A) the Dean won't approve and/or B) you'll never complete. (He writes this hoping you'll see the satire.)  Meanwhile, I've overworked myself to a point where I am so sick that I should probably be in the hospital.  Ho Ho Ho.

So, having our collective holiday spirits in mind,  here's what we need to do to get out of town before the fat guy in the red hoodie starts his breaking and entering, numerous air-traffic violation, and invasion of privacy crime spree.(You really don't want to be out driving the night of the 24th, there's nothing worse than a windshield covered in the droppings from eight flying reindeer.  'Aint no bucket of dirty water and squeegee gonna get your windshield clean after that.) 

Make sure that I have your portfolio in my hot little hands no later than 5:00PM on Monday December 10th in CTM 105.  Your Portfolio should include: 

1. All drafts of all four exam answers you've written for me this semester.

2. Drafts of any other writing you have done for me this semester (keep your course notes, however).
