My apologies for the late grades this week. I’ve been dealing with some personal issues, which required me to take some time to focus on them. Moving on, though, I appreciate your continued commitment to this course and learning code. It’s been more than a month and you’ve all learned so much in this amount of time. I look forward to seeing what you’ll accomplish by the time we’re all done.
I don’t have much to say about this assignment. As long as you coded something using the padding and margin properties, you got full points (an S). For those that went above and beyond, you earned an E. If you got something other than an S or an E and don’t know why, feel free to reach out to me.
Before I let you go with your grades, there’s an important matter I need to discuss with you. Due to a recent change in the forums, it is no longer possible to tag more than 10 users in a single post at a time. Given that there are more than 10 people in this coding course, I will need to find an alternative to informing you all of new assignments and grade updates such as these. I have a few options and I’d appreciate it if you helped me decide by voting on the one you prefer. I’m open to suggestions as well.
For today’s assignment reflection, I used a trick where I tagged half the class initially and then I broke the tags so I could tag the other half of the class. Through some initial testing with the help of some other users, I discovered that those that were tagged first would keep the notification even if the tag was broken after and those that had their tag edited into an existing post were also notified.
Another option is for us to have our own Discourse group but, as this class is halfway over, I don’t see the use in creating a group that would only be used for about a month or two. Had we been at the start of the course still, I’d be more comfortable moving forward with this option for our class.
Lastly, I can keep tagging as I usually did but only tag the 10 people who need it the most. This means that in our class of currently 15, 5 of you will not be tagged. You may volunteer to be untagged.
Which of the described options works best for you, moving forward in this class?
- break the tags
- Discourse group
- tag the 10 that need it the most

Please vote on this poll and let me know what you think. I also encourage you to reply with any thoughts you have as I think over what the best course of action is for us moving forward for the coming weeks.
