Our market research class is analyzing grocery delivery service and is conducting a survey to get the general public’s thoughts to see what their experiences were like when ordering groceries online with any service or app.

The more responses we get, the more accurate our results will be, so please consider taking the survey and sharing it with others.

Welcome to November! Despite the darkness that might be pressing on us at times, let us celebrate and declare November to be the month of abundance, joy, generosity, and thanksgiving.

The term “abundant life” comes from John 10:10: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” “Abundant life” refers to life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for spirit, soul and body. Explore abundance with us this month with this week’s wellness poster.

If professors are recording grades in Canvas, students can enter hypothetical grades for future assignments to see the effect on their final grade. Instructions for students are available at “Using What-if Grades.” The feature can be helpful as advisors work with students to evaluate course performance.

It’s possible there are assignments that are not in Canvas, so students should make sure they know whether all graded activity is listed in Canvas when they use this feature, then adjust their interpretation of the “What-if” final grade accordingly.

Employees who are working with students – especially those who have compliance concerns related to athletics, financial aid, or otherwise – should ensure that student reporting of grades is coming from official grades, not “What-if” grading.
