I’m not sure I could agree more, Daz Cox.
I should also say here that “good grammar” is a HIGHLY situational thing. Sure, there’s the academic, “proper” grammar, but there’s also colloquial grammar. If I’m writing in my true “voice,” I’ll say things like “wicked good” – but I’d never say that in a formal piece of writing….

When you investigate tools that will be useful to you for your on-line /hybrid courses, many platforms support some nifty plagiarism sieves. (We use Blackboard and there is a module called safe assignment, I think). These tools require the student to submit their papers online, and then the tool scours the net for lifted passages. This is a time-saver.
Then you can focus on reading the papers rather than searching the web.

Mary, I love that you say that like EVERYONE knows who she is. I have the Goddess stumped, and I’m betting that none of the kids will know who she is…
Seester, that’s a great idea. I’ve got an extra copy of The Bluest Eye that I might just give away – or I might get a book of MLK quotes as a prize.
CTG, I like it, too (though it means my GSA mug is out of date). I’m hoping that it helps with membership; I’ve been disheartened at how few kids come to the gatherings…
