      First, WELCOME BACK after a week long restful Holiday!

       

      Last chance to work on PowerPoint (PPT) presentations

      • In ILC classes from 1st of October, students have been asked (in handouts given out each class and on this website) to upload their PowerPoint project presentations to http://dropbox.com or keep them in email, so they could work on them during ILC classes set for that purpose.
      • During all of October, many students never brought their work to class
      • Last week of October - an EID deadline was set for submission of PPTs, for a pre-Assessment mark worth 10% of the final mark.
      • Only one out of four (20 out of 87 students in 5 sections) submitted PPT files and had them returned in email over Eid with feedback
        • The teacher had time over Eid to do this.
        • The teacher will NOT have time from Nov 5 to PRE-mark presentations
          • Your teacher will try to mark presentations submitted Sunday Nov 4
          • Presentations submitted on this day will be marked with a 15 point late penalty
          • This is to be fair to those who submitted presentations on time, and to discourage re-submission for a better mark
        • No PowerPoint slide show files were accepted for pre-marking after Sunday Nov 4

       

      Handouts given out in all classes Sunday Nov 4

      Next week AFTER EID you will have ten classes, and we will start our presentations
