Suddenly there are zeros in the gradebook for assignments that I have not completed?
Periodically throughout the semester/term, I will add zeros to grade items that have not been completed. Typically during a semester, I will add zeros to incomplete items leading up to an exam at the end of the 2 week period provided for the exam; during a summer term, this is done about half-way through the five week term and during the middle of the final week of the summer term. This is done to prompt you into catching up if you are falling behind. This also provides you with a more accurate indication of where you stand in the course at that time. The zeros that I add will be replaced by the scores you earn on the assignments as you complete them. PLEASE do not wait till the last day(s) of the semester to complete large numbers of the assignments; if large numbers of assignments are completed at the last minute, I become more critical in my grading.
