Week 6 Weekly Podcast

February 20, 2008

This week’s podcast is a little different. It is an actual recording of the hybrid class where I cover all the relevant information for this week. The last part may get a little confusing because I was showing students how to do the assignment online while in class. You will want to view the screencast for that information if you were not in class: http://screencast.com/t/3oTEgFEI

We are working on Assn.#6: Locating Periodical articles in a database this week. This is not a difficult assignment, but it does require having access to the library databases. You will need a activated ID card to access the databases from home. Just take your SMC ID card to the library to have them activate it. This must be done each semester you are enrolled here. You may use any library you choose, so if you prefer the public library, have at it. Just be sure you are searching databases and not the internet.

You’ll start to see some graded assignments in the My Grades area in Blackboard. If you plan to do any rewrites, be sure to get them done right away. You only a week to do them. As for discussions and journals, these are timely assignments and must be done when assigned. No late journals or discussions will be graded. Your blog journals are assigned in the Odyssey assignments. Go back and look at those assignments to see what journals you are missing. You will have an opportunity to earn some points to make up for a few missing journals later this week when I post our 5th Week Assessment Survey. You will earn 10 bonus points for filling out the survey honestly. More on that later.
