Michael,
Yep, we don't want surprises. And there's really no reason that a student should not know whart expectatations and achievements have occurred in a class at any given moment. Sharing graded information quicly is a courtesy all students deserve. From that information, they can plan, and we can add our advice and support. A teacher never givers a grade, the student earns it. But we should do all we can to inform them where they stand.
