Good morning everyone and happy half-week!
Now 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. If you're starting a new course in the lab next week, you'll start the Daily Schedule back at week one on Monday. 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.

Today's Zoom schedule:
8.30 - everyone
10.30 - SSS and BC-PRD only
11 - CES only
Note: each meeting will have a new link posted. The active meeting will be the most recent link.
Course specific instructions are as follows:
SSS, BC-PRD - free work: citation assignment; Enriched Academy. Remember this is a one week, pass/fail course, with both the certificate from Enriched Academy and your citation assignment due at 4pm Friday. At 10.30am today, we will have a second meeting to discuss the lecture material from yesterday, at which point I will take questions. A recap of your citation assignment: - one topic of your choice - can be persuasive (with a thesis) or can be purely informative (report style) - approx 500 words, not including quotations - minimum five sources (books, websites, videos...) - an APA citations page which includes all five sources - minimum of two quotations incorporated into your own writing - minimum of one clearly attributed paraphrase - APA in-text citations for all quotations and paraphrased information - no block quotes (unintegrated quotes; three lines or longer) - does not need to use or include APA style for other formatting elements CES - today is the peer workshop. I have uploaded your submitted documents to the DropBox. 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.
Also, this post: https://caitlinbaird1.wixsite.com/thelab/post/ces-how-to-pitch-unrelated-experience 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 separate documents and email them to me. I will put them in the DropBox so that tomorrow you can use each others' edits to make changes to your own work. My edits for you will also go up in the DropBox this morning.
At 11am, we will have a meeting to discuss the edits. ITC - continue with assignments and study guide. Please let me know if there's anything you need me to demo or further explain. Today or tomorrow, watch the appropriate Review video on the Lectures page. MSE, MSW - continue with Pearson. Make sure you've watched the "How to check your grades" video so you can find the complete marking breakdowns from Pearson. Remember you have multiple upload attempts for everything, so you can check your work and attempt fixes. I am willing to increase attempts as needed. Please let me know if there is anything you need me to demo but keep in mind my current limited access to the MS programs.
If you are having trouble accessing Pearson, please send me a screenshot. OSK - if you are presenting tomorrow, use today to finish your slides and practice. 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, focus on the study guides for Friday's exam. To fill them in, start by going 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.
See you at 8.30.
