As for Hayward's class, I saw a "*" as well. Nancy did tell me that
there were others in our class who turned in things late, so she didn't
want to submit the grades until everyone's was done. I'm sure if you
ask her, she'll tell you what you have. Give her an email.
Now, if you need advice about working with a freshman comp exit exam, I
have nothing. I have never had any power in order to make those types
of changes. Of course, you might try having them offer documented
reasoning for having this exit exam (perhaps some texts?). I'd like to
see what they have to say about it. In your own defense, you could
offer a list of sources that show why exit exams are not a good idea.

Subject: Faculty meeting "I'm up in arms!"
I must share my disappointment with my initial division faculty meeting
for fall 2004. The "Ph.D." bunch in my division (not all, just 3 or 4)
really got on my nerves the other day regarding comp. and assessment.
According to them, they want to have an exit exam for Freshman Comp.
(one that is timed and will determine whether or not the student gets to
go to thenext level of Freshman comp). They are so elitist! I swear.
Get a clue! Writing is a process! And a timed writing exam will not do
justice!
It hasn't gone through, but I know this subject will come up in
committee again.
Any advice? Give me ammunition to fight the Ivory Tower! Chris, I'm
sure you have an idea of who I am talking about. If not, they are the
husband andwife team, and my neighbor "Dr. It took me 8 years to finish
my Ph.D."
I often feel like the tenured faculty do not value the work that we
non-bearing Ph.D.s do for this division and the University. Let me tell
you,I can't wait to get this damn Ph.D. so I can have more clout in this
place. This really motivates me even more to finish this dissertation.
Bring on the advice, point me to experts!
I miss you all already. Hope you all are doing well and readjusting to
your regular lives.
Hey, those who were in Hayward's class session 1, did you get your
grade? I logged on to URSA and I didn't see my grade. I got an * for a
grade. All myother course grades were there. Hmmm. Anyone know
anything about that?
Take care. Miss you all. Sharleen
