You're welcome...Did I ever send you a copy of mine? You're welcome to it. Attendance grades - if I'm not too late, DON'T do it. I did it the first couple of semesters I taught and NEVER again. Although I'd like to think I'm not a huge believer in the "slippery slope" concept, it's a slippery slope. What is an "excused" absence and what is "unexcused" - not according to the university but according to you. What if a non-traditional student has a sick child? Not excused according to most schools' rules and regulations, but would you rather the student brought the little germ factory to class? Sorry for the bossiness. I'm done now.Teacher ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672531047040896495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14608986.post-40153242107985224782007-01-12T18:01:00.000-05:002007-01-12T18:01:00.000-05:00I have two favorite parts of my syllabus (because,...I have two favorite parts of my syllabus (because, girl, you can't cover everything and I have stopped trying):<br /><br />1) "Grades are ultimately at the discretion of the instructor."<br /><br />2) "The instructor reserves the right to make verbal or written changes to the syllabus at any time. All changes and exceptions are at the instructor’s discretion."<br /><br />If you want any more examples of syllabi, just holler! God knows I looked at a bunch when I created mine.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05175196733293342451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14608986.post-80140190759589976832007-01-11T01:26:00.000-05:002007-01-11T01:26:00.000-05:00Yes, I much prefer making lists (shopping lists! ...Yes, I much prefer making lists (shopping lists! dinner party invitees! training schedules!) to executing them.

If I were doing that with the class I was designing myself, I think it would be.
