Essays

Two announcements regarding essays:

1) If you want to know your grade before the final on assignment two you can email me starting April 20th. The grade I provide will not be set in stone, but should be within several tenths of a point of what your final grade will be.

2) Your essay will come back with a marking sheet. There are six categories on the sheet and a number assigned to each category between 1 and 10. This is only to give you an idea of where you are strong and where you might need some improvement. There is no mathematical relationship between the numbers there and your final grade (in other words there is no formula by which you can add up those numbers and get your final grade). There are other elements in your grade which aren't necessarily covered by those six categories, so it might be possible to have similar numbers but different grades.
