Who's taking it winter 2? Have you gotten your book? Are you buying or renting?
Also, if you have taken it, any advice?

Actually, I put the names of the producers in my citation, but the TA said the correct citation should have been like this (I forget the writer/producer names, so I'm making some up):
Smith, A.B. (writer) and Jones, A.B. (writer)...
I had put (writer/producer) in the parentheses because they were both. At any rate, my TA didn't mark off for the citation...I saw so may different versions of that citation. I even looked at the APA handbook and couldn't figure out anything definitive, so I did the best I could.

I received NOT ONE comment on my paper. I did get comments in general however. I get the feeling she did just fly through it to get the grading done. Fine with me! Some TAs are so tough...I've had 'em. Others are more humane, lol!
I ended up with a 99.44 on my paper (isn't the .44 hilarious?) I got dinged for not putting a "retrieved from" on one of my references....even though it's a journal article so I didn't think I needed to. Oh well, I'm so thoroughly done. I do kind of wish I had a little more feedback on the body of the paper (no comments at all from the TA), but I guess I shouldn't expect a pat on the back...LOL. I kept an A overall, so I'll take it and run.

Only thing I got dinged for was - the TA didn't like my goals - asked are they measurable? Measurable enough for me .. LOL. Ended up with at 97.54 on the paper - not going to complain. Got a 100% on DB - and must have done my reference correctly.

Has everyone gotten their grades for this course? I've only gotten my paper graded so far. I was curious how they graded the quiz and if they curved it like the last couple. So happy for this class to be over but I would like to just have my grades so I can mentally move on from this one...

My TA said the quizzes were curved and our grades sent to the school last night. Consider it over!
Finally, all my grades are in. I placed a period before the parenthesis in my citation. My TA made a very nice comment, actually. Ended up with a 98% for my class grade!
No quiz grade yet. EmJeanRN, you received yours?

I'm jealous. No grades so far, not even for the DB posting. I'm fully expecting to get dinged for length and probably some other arcane APA thing plus a couple of points for some of the other focus areas. N'importe quoi, c'est fini.
Yes...on the quiz I missed one question and was given a 95.5 %. So, a 5.5% curve.
I wonder why they don't just revamp the quizzes? But I'll gladly take a curve any day!
