CFH Film grades

Hi Everyone

I have yet again tried to access your films.

Team 1 has the wrong link
I cannot find the links on your blogs for the other teams.

Your mark will remain at 0 for reflection 1 unless your team sends me an email with the subject heading and insert the URL into the email.

CFH Film URL - Team I
CFH Film URL - Team 2
etc etc

You have until Sunday morning to do this.

Many blogs will get 0 for plagiarism.
 

Fail grade for your blog

I have just looked at two blogs that are completely plagiarized. Please delete the posts.

If you plagiarize you will get an F grade for your blog.

Plagiarizing is cheating and you will be sent to the supervisor.

Please do not expect good marks for your blog just because you have written something - it must be enough and good quality.

 

Wafa's group in CFH

Wafa's group you have uploaded the wrong URl for your film. Please change it.

Have you really prepared for your presentation?

I am very aware that many students have ot prepared at all for their final presentation. Today I am going to put a D mark into the gradebook for everyone so that they can see what their final mark will be if they do not prepare.

Of course, it could be even lower! I gave a zero for a presentation last week - the student was an excellent Englsih speaker but he just had not prepared at all and did not know the subject.

 I also gave 4 100%s.

Prepare, prepare, prepare!!!!
