Inactive Blog

B'Logic is currently inactive, as I am using Canvas for communicating assignments, etc. to my logic students this semester.

Final Grades

I have good inductive reason to think that you all will have retrieved your grades from Banner. Please let me know, calmly and politely, via email if you think your grade may be in error. I will check the math and explain my numbers, and if I have indeed made an error I will correct it. Having communicated with me about it, you are then entitled to contest the grade administratively if you still believe it is in error.

I will see some of you again in the spring, to which I look forward.

Final Essay

For those of you doing a second essay in place of the blogging option, I will need to have the final, polished version, in hard copy, by noon on Monday.

Grading Breakdown

For those who want to calculate how they're doing so far, here's the approximate weighting of assignments for the course (from the revised syllabus published early in the semester). I have added one further revision, breaking the 40% for the midterm and final into 15% for the midterm and 25% for the final. This gives everyone a greater chance to improve, and enough of you have been getting better at logic in recent weeks that this adjustment may help to ensure that your final grade is an accurate reflection of your learning.

Quizzes: 10%
Essay: 25%
Midterm 15%
Blogs/second essay: 25%
final: 25%

Final Exam Review

For all those interested, we will meet at 10 am in Bowman 211 on Thursday (reading day) to answer questions and do problems.

Advanced Logic Tutorial

With apologies to those interested students whose schedules don't mesh, we will begin our advanced logic tutorial Thursday at 8:30 am in Bowman 106. Anyone who is able to join us, please feel free.

Word Verification

I know I type with an Iowa accent, and am very difficult to understand, but I wish all bloggers would please turn off the "Word Verification" function on their blogs, so it's not such an unnecessary hassle to post comments. I made this request earlier in the semester, but several of you have still declined to heed it.
