[Englecturers] iGrade Info.

Wed Jan 30 08:24:12 PST 2008

Dear All,

We are now in our fourth week of the quarter and now it's time to 
turn our thoughts towards the grading option.  If you are 
contemplating using iGrade for Winter quarter 2008, please be sure to 
sign up and double-check yourself to ensure that you have completed 
the appropriate steps. Last quarter, there were several instructors 
who thought that they had signed up for iGrade, only to find out at 
the last minute that they were scheduled to use paper grade sheets. 
It is the responsibility of the lecturer/teaching assistant to sign 
themselves up for the iGrade option.

Just as a reminder, all teaching assistants are required to meet with 
Professor John Briggs prior to submitting their final grades 
online.  A interview sign up sheet will be placed in the English 
Department copy room at the end of the tenth week, and an 
announcement will go out reminding TAs to sign up.  Again, if any TA 
decides to use iGrade, please double-check to ensure that your online 
option was completed appropriately.   As in the past, all attendance 
rosters and syllabus must be submitted to me after meeting with 
Professor Briggs.

Those lecturers and teaching assistants who are teaching ELWR 
courses, will not have the option to sign up for the iGrade.  All 
grades will be submitted on the paper Grade Rosters through the Entry 
Level Writing Program.  If you have any questions or would like more 
information regarding ELWR grading, please contact Laurie Petty, 
Linda Strahan or Kathy Moore in HMNSS 1102.

Thank you.

Teri
