1. Checkmarks in the margin of your paper are good. When you see one, it means you said something I liked. Usually something specific that relates to the main themes of the course, your readings, etc.If you can't read my writing, ask me after class. If I can read it myself (which is usually, but not always, the case), I'll translate it into English for you.
2. A "bang mark" or exclamation point is good! It can mean a variety of things. Often I put a bang mark in the margin when you said something that made me laugh.
3. "Be specific" in the margin means ... (drum roll) ... be specific! I really, really like specific.
ONE LAST NOTE: If you get a "C" on your midterm grade report, that does not mean you are getting a C in the class. It means I don't have a midterm for you, but you've been coming to class so I'm not going to flunk you.
Yet.
It also means: See me after class, and we'll get it straightened out.
