Grade Update and Important Reminders
Grade Update
Grades have been updated as of August 15, which means all assignments turned in have been graded and zeros have been entered for work not turned in by the deadline.
Please take a moment to check your grades and to read the feedback I left for your assignments. Here is a description of GaVS late policy. Please refer to your syllabus/schedule for more information!
Important Reminders
- Download Mozilla Firefox. Your course will not open perfectly in other browsers!
- Log in to your course and check GaVS email daily. Email me only from your GaVS account.
- Always read the news announcements and all materials sent to you carefully.
- To record sound just go to http://vocaroo.com/; Follow the prompts to export and save the .mp3 file. Then upload it to the assignment dropbox in your German course.
- Print out your schedule and work a little everyday and always let me know if you need help.
- Read directions carefully and only work ahead of schedule if you have a good grade!
- Do not skip anything in the content.
When students use "ziemlich" for "pretty" instead of "schön" when we are learning to describe people in German, I can tell they went to a dictionary instead of going through the content! I can also pull your information and determine how long you spent and which portions of the course you visited! - DO NOT use online translators to complete assignments. It's a violation of GaVS honor code and very easy to spot because they DO NOT WORK! Check your syllabus for detailed policy.
- Students must submit the written answers with all speaking assignments!
- Students can see the questions missed on a quiz by going to "Assessments/Quizzes/Attempt 1". You should be able to see any entered comments and the questions you missed.
- Attend as many live sessions as you can. We meet every Monday at 8pm. Link to join is under "Course Information". Sessions are recorded and posted for students who cannot attend.
- Always let me know if you have any questions or problems. I'm here to help you!
Watch this video if you are still confused about where to find what in your course!
Communication
- Emails and calls with be returned within 24 hours. I do not check email on the weekends and emails received after 5pm on Fridays will not receive a reply until the following Monday.
- Please only email me through your GaVS email account!
