Backbencher

Gradually, I'm getting organized as to who is doing what to keep the course going. You're already acquainted with Jim Sele, who is doing duty as wingman for the course. Another assistant, Dave Mills, whom some of you know, also will be doing some grading, although you will never see him, as he's mainly teaching over in central Minnesota. So, who's grading what? Here's the line-up.

Tom: grading book reviews and research reports

Jim: grading lecture response papers and text response papers

Dave: grading everything else

Jim, however, is keeping the roster and all the records. Dave and I feed scores to him, even as we reply directly to you about assignments we read from the weblog.
