Week+Six

Week Six Assignments

This week it is time for your first exam. You will find exam 1 in the Exams folder. You will also find a study guide and a discussion board in the exams folder. In my onsite classes, I like to play a game in class to review for the exam. I am not quite sure how to do that with my online classes, but I wanted to provide you with an opportunity for extra credit and an opportunity to talk to each other and review for the exam, so I created a discussion board. You will be my first class that I try this with, so we’ll see how it goes.

If you ask a question about the study guide, I will give you 2.5 points of extra credit. If you answer a question – correctly – then I will give you 2.5 points of extra credit. You can earn a total of 5 points of extra credit either asking or answering questions. If I see that questions are not being answered, I will jump in and help. Of course, you can always e-mail me or text if you have questions too.

I realize that I should have had instructions posted for your presentation two weeks ago and I forgot. I am so sorry about that. I have the instructions posted now, and would like for you to read them and to take a look at your list of topics and start picking topics. There is a new folder in the content area called Presentation Project. The instructions are posted there and there is a Padlet inside for you to post your topic on. There is also a discussion board in the folder so if you would like to work in a group, you have the opportunity to talk to your classmates. This is only if you want to though. Last semester I did have some nice group projects, it is totally possible for you to collaborate online. Please have a look at the instructions and let me know if you have any questions about what is expected of you. You get 5 points for posting your topic too.

Your posting assignment for this week is to reflect on your experience so far and let me know what you have enjoyed, and what has given you trouble. I would like for you to please be honest in this reflection because I really do want to try to make a great online experience for you and if there is anything I can do to make the experience better, I really want to know.
