Student Grade Form and Personal Schedule

Northern Virginia Community College, Extended Learning Institute

© Dr. Eric Trumbull (this form and its idea are borrowed from Dr. Diane Thompson, NVCC)

Use this form to keep a record of your progress, personal schedule, and the grades you receive in this course. You will receive your personal Start, W and End Dates in the mail from ELI. Print out this page and fill in the due dates for each unit counting from your start date as week 1. One activity by the end of each week will get you through the course by your end date. Each Unit should take you five weeks to complete.

As you submit work, fill in the date you submitted it and the grade you received for each assignment. Then, to know where you are in the course, just add up the grades.

It is important to keep copies of all your work until you have received your final grade, since I delete work from the forums after 45 days. You should also keep the e-mail grades I send you until you have received your final grade for the course.

My start date is:____________

My W date is:______________. (If you do not submit any work by this date, you will be dropped from the course.)

My end date is:_____________
