Remember the link for the meeting will be posted when it begins and only remains active while the meeting is in session. I try to keep our morning meetings under an hour. Please refer to the Daily Schedule to see your own assignments in context with the other lab courses.
Here's an overview to get us started:
SSS, BC-PRD: Pass/fail, one week. Use the document "Welcome Instructions" to create your ECampus account and access Enriched Academy. Begin the videos. Tomorrow we will discuss the other assignment for the course (citation paper). Please note that the Enriched Academy workbook is optional. The short quizzes between video sets are for review and I will not be taking your grades from them.
CES: Pass/fail, one week. Access the Courses page on this site for Career and Employment. At the top of the page is a link to the DropBox. Please access the DropBox today and read through the instructional documents in the main folder. Today's assignment is the "master ad." You are to find ads for jobs in your field, then use the key information to create your master ad. There is a document in the DropBox which goes over the exercise in more detail, including some examples. This is an in-class exercise, so it's due by 1 today; however, I will accept submissions until class begins tomorrow morning. Note: you have an extra video which goes over assignments on your Courses page.
ITC week one: Percentage grade, two weeks. Please read through the outline on the Courses page of this site. Begin accessing the resources.
ITC week two: Continue with assignments. Begin Study Guide 2.
KBD: Percentage grade, one week in class, flexible extensions. Read through the outline on the Courses page. You need to collect your textbook from campus. Please email me so I can inform Reenat you're coming. You can also email her directly: reenat.sandhu@career.college. After getting your textbook, follow the link on the Courses page to download the Paradigm software. Note: if Paradigm doesn't work, use the document "Keyboarding without Paradigm." Also, I strongly suggest "Typing Club" for your practice. Email me if you need an account created.
OSK: Percentage grade, two weeks. Your course is made up of the daily assignment booklet, a presentation, and an exam. Today, begin on the Recorded Lectures tab with the video "OSK booklet and presentation info." You can begin filling out your Study Guides with the chapter documents on the Courses page. I suggest as well that you read through the rubric for the presentation. You have one exam which will be taken via ECampus.
MSE, MSP, MSW: Percentage grade, two weeks. You need the Grades Tracker sheet from the Courses page. Start with the videos "How to get started with Pearson courses" and "How to check your grades in Pearson" on the Recorded Lectures page.Look through the resources I've compiled so you can refer to them throughout the course. Access Pearson through ECampus and begin the material at Module 1. (Note: I will activate your Pearson course after attendance.)
Looking forward to getting to know you all in the coming weeks.
