Student posts, assignment #2

My students are back with their second writing assignment, which I'll be posting for the next few days. As I mentioned previously, constructive comments on their posts are appreciated, but keep in mind that they're students doing this as an assignment and still learning--and comments that I feel are over the top (or attacking me via them) will be removed. Finally, these posts are the students' own; I'm formatting them for publication here, but beyond that their words (and opinions) are their own.

I have a To-Do list that's longer than my arm. I have multiple deadlines that are Looming Large this week. My scholarly materials are due fairly soon, and there are a couple more things that need to be sent out into the Great Reviewing Stream ASAP.

I spent last Friday grading for my five-week summer class. It took about nine hours*, which wasn't that bad, considering that the main graded work consisted of papers.

Bacteriophages to Fight Bacteria: Is this the Beginning of the End?Posted on: April 14, 2008 12:15 PM, by Tara C. Smith, By David Massaquoi

Please note that I produced the segment on bacteriophages for NPR's Science Friday. I have no relationship with Intralytix, nor have I written for the company or its website. I would appreciate your making the necessary corrections. (And I would prefer that this not be posted, if possible.)
Thank you,
