"I received my reading journals back from you today. You said I did a
good job, but was missing some of the entries. I didn't see a grade
anywhere and was wondering if I did receive a grade or if I should fill
in the missing entries and hand it in again?"

Reply:  
I'm not grading them. If I was really unhappy with one, I clearly
indicated that on it when I returned it. (Yours was fine, though,
as I indicated, you seemed to be missing some entries--just a
statement of fact, not an evaluation; no need to hand it in again.)
When I send around the grading algorithm, you'll see how I'll handle
this.
