Thanks for taking the time to give feedback on the self-evaluation 
forms. I would like to respond to one frequent comment about the 
grading level of the homework assignments. Alot of people felt they were 
graded too harshly and with too much emphasis on spelling and grammer, 
particularly by yours truly. 
	I want everyone to realize that grammer and spelling counted for one  
point out of the ten (two points in some cases of severe quality 
problems) for the assignments I graded. I believe Lisa did the same. 
A point would be deducted after numerous typos (lots of 
these) or for very unclear writing (not many of these). I did edit them 
as best I could though - even though they were only homework assignments. 
So, the amount of marking-up on your homework doesn't necessarily 
relate to the grade you received. I marked up the 10/10s as well. Think 
of it at as extra educational value for your tuition dollar. The bulk of your grade came from your ability to follow the 
assignments and read, comprehend, analyze, summarize, explain, etc., 
as asked. 
	To the charge of grading harshly, I plead guiltly. It takes alot more 
time and is harder, but, we'd rather you make mistakes and learn from 
them here than from your employer after graduation. Also, know that Sue read 
all your homeworks after I had graded them - you aren't the victim of a 
grad student run amok. 
	This response in no way dismisses the concerns you expressed. They 
will be taken seriously, just as last semester's student input spurred an effort to change the course for this semester. 

All the best ...

Dennis
