Answers to progress emails/updates:
If today is your last class day, be sure to complete the course feedback.
Pearson: Most laptops do not have Home or End buttons. To get around this, use the virtual keyboard. Check out my help for Mac users as some of it applies to Windows as well, such as the virtual keyboard: https://caitlinbaird1.wixsite.com/thelab/post/help-for-pearson-simulations-for-office-on-mac
ITC: Again, you need the desktop Office software to complete this course. Tablets and phones are not sufficient for schoolwork. Mobile devices, like with the online software, have limited functionality in the app. On the first day of class, you were assigned a video going over the differences between the online and full software as well as a written list of functionalities missing from the online version which I had cross-referenced with your assignment criteria. This was intended to assist you in selecting case studies if access to Office was materially limited. Unless you have joined me in an office hour to confirm, I am expecting all assignment requirements to be met.
ITC: Your assignments are due at 4pm Friday.
Course-specific instruction:

I have put all the feedback docs + updated docs in the DropBox. Update your resume and cover letter accordingly. If you need help with formatting, see the video demo on the blog. Tomorrow, you will be doing an interview workshop. If you finish up, check out the material on interviews.
ITC
Tomorrow you will take your exam (25 questions, multiple choice) on ECampus. I will make the exam available after our morning meeting. You are to take it within class hours; the time limit is 90 minutes. You are only allowed one attempt.
Today, you will find two quizzes on ECampus. These have "bonus" questions covering the same material. Each quiz is worth 2.5% of your overall grade. The time limit is 30 minutes each; you may retake the quizzes to get better marks. Take these today in order to facilitate retakes tomorrow (there is a 24-hour wait between attempts).
We will review for the exam today. To prepare, today you should finish filling out your study guide. For the first exam, you want to use the first 5 chapters linked on your Courses page and the first study guide. The second exam covers modules 6 through 9. Watch the prerecorded review video on the Lectures tab before our 10am meeting; in these videos, I go through the study guides and talk about the answers.
If you are in week 2, same drill, but now your assignments are due tomorrow by 4pm. You can upload these to ECampus or email them to me as attachments, but I prefer the former. Please refer to the weekly schedule post to see any adaptations to the schedule to accommodate students in week 1 and 2 if both are present.
KBD
Take the assigned tests today to get a sense of your score. You need to write down your best scores in the Test Tracker form, also downloadable from your Courses page. All seven tests are due, via your Test Tracker, tomorrow at 4pm. If you're happy with your scores today, you can submit on time tomorrow. If you are unsatisfied or under requirements, please use today's progress email to request an extension.
MSW, MSE, MSP, BCA
Continue with Pearson. Remember you need to submit your filled-in grades tracker on the final day (second week) of your course by 4pm. Remember to send your requests for new tutorials etc. PS. you can take your exams any time! Treat them just like the Graders.
If you emailed me asking for more upload attempts for a particular assignment, I have deleted your unwanted uploads so you can try again. Join me in the office hour meeting if you have any work you'd like me to look over.
