Hey there! Merry Christmas to you. Many of you, like many of us, were expecting a special gift by today: fall semester’s grades. And many of you, like many of us, are without said grades.
So, we’ve begun to compile a list of professors who have yet to upload your final marks. Use the comment thread to shame your professor, and we’ll add him/her to our list. With a little Christmas magic — and some Google-able dishonor — we might all be able to get our grades by New Year’s.
(Grades are actually due two weeks after the last class — making some seminar grades overdue — or two weeks after the last final.)

@Anonymous Julia Lougovaya – Elementary Greek
@new years eve kessler-harris is still MIA too
@It's now 12/31 and Marilyn Ivy has not posted a grade for her Millenial Futures class.
@i think that professors should have to move our grades up one step for every day they are late posting grades. After all we get penalized for turning papers in late. This is ridiculous.
@Econ Japan Economic Development of Japan, Weinstein
@ASSA How do u appeal a grade?
@Latin American Civ grades are up
@. . . billows: ancient greek history
and
usher: french
@Prof Bao Global Genres and East Asian Cinema, Weihong Bao: Last class December 3, Paper deadline 20 days ago; like 20 people in the class = read 1 paper per day… Why no grade posted? Don’t get it… CULPA time!
By the way, Bwog, this color description thing totally sucks for people who have color perception problems – you really need to change it
@THANK YOU FINALLY someone else who is partially color blind complaining! seriously bwog, PLEASE?!
@yeah plus, any robot could just read in the code:
background: rgb(0,0,255)
to figure out what color it is and spam away.
@question um, what exactly happens if a professor does not post by the deadline? are any punitive measures taken at all?
@nothing nothing happens. after a while a department administrator or maybe the registrar will send a reminder email.
thats it. welcome to the life of tenured professors.
@SSOL stayed up all night for SSOL to update, it still hadn’t updated at 6am.
uch
@yea if today’s the deadline, then that means if they put it up today, it’ll show up on ssol tomorrow.. but yea still waiting for 1 more grade…
lynn catterson just put her grades up..best art hum teacher!
@wtf times six only missing 3….i have 6 classes and missing all 6…lol…something is up.
@Wtf Honestly, where the hell are my grades? I’m still missing three of them — two from seminars with less than ten kids in each! If today is the deadline, what do you do if it’s not posted? Why would the profs even need to follow the deadline — clearly Presbo isn’t abiding by it, why should they?
@Grades are in for Financial Economics
Labor Economics
@Sidorsky 20th Cent. Philos. and Social and Political Philos.
@Nobel Prize winner Robert Mundell: Global Macro Disequilibrium

@Randall Balmer Religion and the Civil Rights Movement
@Jonathan Schorsch Inquisitions (New) Christians Empire
@Eric Foner not sure about other sections, but the only grade I haven’t gotten is for Foner’s The American Radical Tradition.
@ssol addict No, grades posted the previous day appear whenever SSOL updates many hours before you receive the email. However, the update times don’t match any time zone in this country. For example, today it claims to have updated at 2:24 but it is 4:23 EST…
@update Well, SSOL has is fact updated. The mystery remains.
@ssol addict has anyone figured out what the ssol update times refer to? it seems like approximately central time but its not always exact.
@update I believe that the “update time” refers to the time at which the internal system updates, and that the publicly available records only update at 8:30.
@Eric Farah Griffin
@here's more... Jacqueline Olvera, Intro Sociology
Jose Plácido Ruiz Campillo, Spanish Linguistics (but he’s new and probably not entirely used to “coor-se-works)
@SSOL kills my life Why does SSOL only update at 4:30 am so that I have to stay up every night and ruin the next day?
@advice Take a break from your computer for a while, do something else, and come back in a week. You’ll be better off for it.
@p/f-ing anyway David Cohen, Diatonic Theory
@here's three Feld, Marlon – Diatonic Harmony and Counterpoint

@Art History Benelli’s Intro to Architecture
@URBS: Jack McGourty and Tim Cross, Science and Technology in Urban Environments
@lmx How is Campillo? I’m taking his class next semester.
@he's very chill…and kind of crazy (in a good way). though we had no work all semester and the class had no structure… and our only graded assignment was a 10 page final research paper, but we barely had time to write it & he never gave any clear direction/help on it whatsoever. i still have no idea what i learned in that class.
@random God – How to be good
@cheme Chris Durning – Transport Phenomena
it’d be nice if he would post this so i know whether or not i need to look into another choice of majors. I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT I PASSED. COME ON, MAN.
@barnard class Peter Connor- the 19th c. French Novel

@oops in spanish linguistics, that is.

@Anonymous Sally Davidson, Financial Economics
@yup hers is the only reason i still check email — to see if that blasted “your grade has been submitted” email came yet.
to her credit she was a damn good teacher and has several hundred exams to grade by herself.
@a few Richard Billows, Ancient Greek History
Joannis Mylonopoulos, Greek Art and Architecture
@missing my CC grade I have applications due on the 31st, and this semester’s transcript says “incomplete” without that missing grade. Ugh.

@Brian Rakitin Science of Psychology.
@This is kind of a waste of keystrokes and pixels. Just wait until the 29th and *then* complain. Right now, it just seems really whiny. The grades will get there, be patient!
@you guys you guys are all stupid you realize that if you post the prof’s name, and he reads it, basically your class is fucked cause he will recognize what ingracious little pricks you guys are?
@you forgot Jon Elster…though there were all of 6 people in that class.
@Ana Mendez Oliver Ana Mendez Oliver – Spanish

@history foner! radical traditions!
@david elson Data structures
@Eliza Woo!!! Eliza Woo for Frontiers of Science.
@i thought bwog doesn’t put this up until the 1st or so…
@really depends on the teachers… i know someone who got a friggin C- lit hum first semester!!!! C-!!! after working her butt off… then changed teachers and got an A or A- second semester….ridiculous, hate that about small discussion classes
@Mule I got a B+ in Lit. Hum….my only grade so far. Read all the books and got a B…Who the hell gets a B in Lit Hum! I’m a damn mule.
It’s my only grade so far so needless to say I’m in a panic.
Another grade offender: David Helfand, Frontiers of Science.
@ehh it happens to the best of us. Don’t let it get to you. Learn fast that grading is random and means nothing.
@Mike Oxbig Does changing section really occur a lot during the second semester?
I pulled an A- in Lit Hum which is satisfying but I actively dislike my section. Love the teacher but some of hese kids are just…..urgh….it kills a lot of my desire to participate.
If there’s a general shuffle in every come January i would love to switch.
@Senior If you dislike your first semester Lit Hum or CC teacher/class, don’t feel dissuaded from switching sections for second semester. I switched mid-year for both and got lucky both times — ended up with two of the best teachers/classes I’ve had at Columbia.
@Word on that I actually failed the first semester of Lit Hum (I was a clusterfuck of a freshman and deserved the F), so I’ve taken three semesters with three different instructors (ie, two falls and a spring). All of my instructors were fucking amazing (all were gold nuggets on culpa), but grading was highly variable. I got a B+ my second time around at Lit Hum I, despite having read all the books thoroughly and having a year up on my competition; and an A+ in Lit Hum II. It pays to shop around.
(Protip for the ’13s: it also pays to write your fucking papers and show up to class.)
@hey, #74! Merry Christmas! I’m coming back on the 16th (I think), so I’ll see you then. I miss you tons! Thanks for cleaning the fridge!
@Woah... May I ask who was your third A+ Lit. Hum. professor?
Poster #68
@Well... as explained in a previous posting, David Helfand was traveling quite a long distance on his sleigh last night…
@Yes! I am so glad David Helfand = Santa Claus is sticking. But speaking of, St. Helfand, not only are you holding up every sections’ grades in Frontiers, WHERE THE EFF WAS THE PUPPY I ASKED FOR THIS MORNING???
@cc '10 i got a b+ in every great books class, regardless of how much effort i put in. it’s normal. don’t fret too much.
@Ellie Hisama for chromatic harmony and counterpoint.
although no one at columbia gives a shit about music undergrads, so whatever.
@Tired of Waiting Weihong Bao, Global Genres & East Asian Cinema…
Come on, there were less than 20 in the whole class!
@Orhan Pamuk Shame on you, Nobel laureate and all. Don’t you know Columbia apartments come with professorial duties?
@Umm.. You do realize grades aren’t officially due until the 29th, right?
From SSOL’s web grading submission form for instructors:
“Web Grading for Fall 2008 will be available as of December 1, 2008. Grades are due no later than Monday, December 29, 2008.”
@oops Didn’t actually know that. Sort of assumed it was past the due date because Bwog posted this list.
Knowing grades don’t even have to be turned in yet is a load off my back. Like any painful inevitable, they’ll come when they come!
@Alma Mora Spanish
@None *due.
@None None of my classes got grades back yet.
None of them.
One was a creative writing class which had portfolios dues three weeks ago. Another was an entirely scan-troned multiple choice test. Come on, guys, come on!
