Comments on: Undergrad Seminar: Why Incompletes Are So Dangerous http://www.ethnography.com/2010/01/undergrad-seminar-time-management-part-1/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=undergrad-seminar-time-management-part-1 A group blog on a wide variety of topics realted to anthropology Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:50:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Guhh http://www.ethnography.com/2010/01/undergrad-seminar-time-management-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-5337 Guhh Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:02:58 +0000 http://www.ethnography.com/?p=524#comment-5337 I'm reading this as I procrastinate while sitting in a university library in France as my husband labors away over some archival documents in the next room. I'm along for the ride for his research this month but I didnt finish my master's thesis before jumping on the airplane. I technically have until September to finish it before I start my teaching years in my PhD program.It's an ethnogaphic piece and I have a lot written but it's kind of all over the place. I'll be traveling all next month too so it'll be hard to sit down and finish but I cant handle having to think about it everyday anymore. I don't know if it'll help but here goes...how about July 8 as a deadline?

I got an urgent email from a student today about a year-old Incomplete which is about to change magically to an F. She is a really bright student, and I hope that she gets it together between work and school in the next few days. I know too that she is losing sleep over this, which really doesn't help, either. But, for what it is worth, I never lose any sleep over Incompletes... PS. I got an urgent email from a student today about a year-old Incomplete which is about to change magically to an F.

They mean basically "see me now!" because something is missing in may grade book. Sometimes the student is a flake, and sometimes I have misplaced a paper. I don't really care which one it is, but basically is want the paper, NOW. Surprisingly, only about half of the students have responded since I handed in grades two weeks ago. Perhaps things will improve when the semester begins. I just don't get it what there is in that rotting pile of food in the kitchen that students sometimes don't get.
