Now that it's the second week and you shouldn't be getting any new students, it's the perfect time to request a course email list. The link to do so is provided below. When creating the list, select "Announce-Only" if you don't want students responding (leading to those embarrassing "reply all" messages that are only intended for you).

Today's information session and discussion centers around ideas and tactics for best using your lab day. The Ic@P structure gives each instructor one day in a computer lab and this is an amazing oppurtunity; therefore, we feel that instructors should take as much advantage of this situation as possible. The session includes lab management techniques, general ideas based on teaching philosophy, and some specific sample activities.

Excel is a popular program for keeping track of your students' grades throughout the semester. At the end of the semester you will be required to turn in an electronic copy of your gradebook to the English Department, so it's a good idea to start a well organized one early on. Although Excel is a program worth knowing, it is not necessary to spend hours setting up a gradebook at this point (trust us, we know you're busy!). Attached are four pre-made templates for keeping an electronic gradebook. They are incredibly well made and have built-in instructions on how to edit them for your specific course. We take no credit for making them. They were built by Christopher Stormer at The College of Saint Catherine but have generously been provided for open use.

There are four different choices based on how you plan to keep the grades in your course.

1. Letter Grade: Use this template if you want to enter letters instead of percentages and points, where each item is worth a certain percentage of the total grade.

2. Percentages: Use this template if each item is worth a percentage of the total grade

3. Averages: Use this template if each item is worth an equal amount of the total grade (this is unlikely)

4. Points: Use this template if each item is worth a certain amount of points toward the final grade
