Yes, everyone, today is the day!

In this post, I'm sharing a reply to a puzzling question I received via mail after class today.
Yes, the deadline for Proto-Portfolios and Portfolios is today (Jan 15). Thanks to a class cancellation, when I had the flu in December, you have had an extra two days to complete your portfolio. If you heard the 29th, it wasn't from me.


The portfolio due date is on the course calendar. I've reminded you and your classmates repeatedly, for instance, on the Writing Studio Blog, where you got the portfolio template:


Your complete portfolio for this semester is due – published and labeled on your blog – by Friday, January 15, 2010 (10:30 a.m. for 1A, and 12:10 p.m. for 1C, JST). [emphasis added]
(Writing Studio Blog: TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 2010)


I announced the deadline and wrote it on the whiteboard in class on both Jan 6 and Jan 13, and sent it out via gmail, for example, in this mail message from the class calendar:


2010/1/5 Paul Beaufait
Portfolios due


The new portfolio template, with instructions for its use and completion, is on the Writing Studio Blog:

The due date has changed from January 13, to January 15, 2009. [emphasis added]


I sent fresh reminders via gmail when I added specific class times to this description from that calendar event:


The new portfolio template, with instructions for its use and completion, is on the Writing Studio Blog:
http://writingstudioblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/portfolio-for-writing-iv-2009-10.html (2010.01.05)

The du
e date has changed from January 13, to January 15, 2009. Completed portfolios, including Proto-Portfolios (§ 0.0), are due by the end of make-up class meetings:

- Writing IV, § 1A: 09:30
- Writing IV, § 1C: 12:10 [emphasis added]
