I want to go over your weekly activities a second time to make sure there is no confusion.

  • Via the Schedule menu watch the video lecture (if any), read the assignments and explore the additional materials for the week.
  • Each Tuesday (am) you will find a post of ~ 4 questions about that week’s readings and other content.
  • After finishing the videos, readings and other content, write a one or two paragraph comment on at least one (1) of the posted questions.  Comment by selecting Leave a Reply option at the bottom of my post on the course blog (Leave a Comment link also works).  Replies are due by 11:59 pm Sunday.
    (Note: I must approve your first reply or comment so don’t expect to see it right away. After that it will be automatic.)
  • Once everyone’s readings comments are on the blog, I expect you to read them over and comment on them.  Comments need to be posted on the class blog before 11:59 pm on Sunday.
    Note: Four (4) substantive comments each week considered a B.
  • Class (Monday)
  • I may post a summary note (if any) on Tuesday

To learn to the material well you need to be actively engaged in the online discussion.  Check it out and contribute everyday.  If you have questions, put them in a post or reply online so that everyone can see the answer.  If you find yourself confused, call me and we will talk about it (609.206.9783).
