What's a reasonable portion of the course grade to be determined by the midterm and final for a University course? Does 20% sound good?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
20% for each exam or 20% total? And what makes up the rest?

DebetEsse - if I understood the question right, here, as an undergrad, most of my grade - if not all of it - is based on the midterm and final. 80%, at least.

I use to have the final count more than the midterm, because I figured the students should have learned something in the meantime. (I think it was something like: final = 20%, midterm = 15%, various papers = 5% each [usually one a week--I taught Freshman comp], a couple of pop quizes = 5% each, final journal = 5%) No one failed for having a lousy day, but no one could coast to an A without doing most of the work.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We're doing projects, rather than exams, so it's not a single day. There seems to be a culture in the department of a high weight put on participation and working with mentor teachers in local schools.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just finished my syllabi.
Fear my academianinity.....umm....
Next, I set up record-keeping.
Also, I'm on a committee at church. Well, a committee and a task-force.
I feel like such a grown-up.

I've found a lovely site for folks who like looking at antiques and vintage clothes, etc, 1stdibs.com. I found this lovely dress [link] and there are dozens of other dealers in clothes etc. Hours of browsing, drooling fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You rock, Profesoresa Debet!
