26 August, Wednesday

Good morning! Midweek is a good time to check your schedules (and the Monday post) to confirm if your course lasts one or two weeks. As per the Lab Policies document, all of your assignments are due the final Friday of your course at 4pm. Refer to the Policies document and the welcome video for my policies regarding late submissions, extensions, and academic integrity. I have resources for writing, citing, etc which do not violate integrity - these are linked at the bottom of the Citations tab. If you are experiencing any issues with accounts, software, etc, please let me know with screenshots. See this post if you need further instruction: https://caitlinbaird1.wixsite.com/thelab/post/technical-difficulties-what-to-do Please watch the Wednesday video and come prepared with your questions to the morning meeting at 8.30. Read this post if you haven't before: https://caitlinbaird1.wixsite.com/thelab/post/how-do-i-know-what-to-do-today

Course-specific instructions:

CES - today is the peer workshop. Make sure you email your master ad, cover letter, and resume before the 11am meeting. You need to connect with your peers today.

Your job today is to read your peers' work and provide thoughtful feedback. Compare the resume and cover letter to the master ad. Is there anything important missing? Is it easy to read and understand? Are the experiences listed appropriate for the field?

Watch the various videos on resumes and cover letters on the lab site; you can apply these tips to your edits. All the resources on your Courses page are clearly labeled.

In the DropBox, check out the document "resume example 1" which has the green text box at the bottom. The comments in the green text box are examples of pros, cons, and suggestions. Use this as a guide for the type of feedback you are to provide for your classmates. Write out your feedback in a separate document and email it to me, Cheryl, and your peers.

At or before 11am, connect with your peers on Zoom or a similar app so you can discuss your work together.

To recap: email your master ad, cover letter, and resume if you haven't yet. Read through your peers' work and write down your feedback. After the workshop, email your written feedback for your peers. See the "Notes on CES" video and document for submission guidelines.


ITC - continue using the chapters linked on your Courses page to fill in your week 1 (or 2) study guide. When you've found the answers, watch the ITC Review 1 (or 2) video on the Lectures tab. If you haven't yet, download the Assignment instructions from ECampus. Remember you can complete the three assignments in any order. Please upload your assignments to ECampus. MSE, MSW, MSP - continue with Pearson. If you are having trouble accessing Pearson, please send me a screenshot. OSK - continue with your assignment booklet, downloadable from your Courses page. Remember there is a video on the Lectures tab which gives an overview of the expectations from the booklet. These are in-class exercises, and do not need to be as perfect as a project for which you are given more time. I suggest you begin filling in your study guides (downloadable from your Courses page, labeled "Practice Midterm" and "Practice Final"). On the Lectures tab I have review videos which go over the answers for the study guides. Re: your presentations, if you haven't already, check out some of the resources on the PowerPoint Courses page - particularly, there's a video called "How to avoid death by PowerPoint" which I strongly suggest. Remember the grading rubric is on your Courses page to download. If you have already presented or will be presenting Monday, focus on the study guides for Friday's exam. To fill them in, read through the PPT files on the OSK Courses page. If you need more information on a subject, refer to your textbook (upper right corner of your Course page on ECampus). Today and tomorrow, use the Review videos on the Lectures tab - in these, I go through the study guides and the answers. Remember you take the exam in your second week of OSK. It's your choice whether you present in your first or second week, but typically students choose the penultimate day of class.
