Everybody:


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.



I strongly encourage you to connect with your classmates, be it those in your program cohort or simply in your course this week. If you request membership to this site, you can use the Forums for this purpose. Otherwise I suggest exchanging emails or handles for whichever apps you like - Whatsapp is popular for study groups, as are Facebook Groups.


Course-specific instructions:


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.

Yesterday you were assigned the three lecture videos. A recap of your citation assignment:

- one topic of your choice

- must involve research, of course

- can be persuasive (with a thesis) or can be purely informative (report style)

- approx 500 words, not including quotations

- minimum five sources, any type of media (books, websites, videos...)

- an APA citations page (bibliography*) 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

*Note that a bibliography, a citations page, and a references page are all the same thing, just different names.


B1075R - continue with your responses, Mystery Shopper assignment, and study guide. Remember the responses are meant to be reflections, not formal essays. I'm interested in your thoughts and connections. Join the 10am Zoom to study with your classmates.


CES - today is typically the peer workshop, but our class size is too small this week. Today, please focus on editing your cover letter and resume. Use the resources in the DropBox and on your Courses page to do this. Please make sure you have submitted a resume and cover letter by end of class so I can provide you with feedback.


ITC week 1 - continue using the chapters (1-5) linked on your Courses page to fill in your week 1 study guide. Use the new talkthrough videos to help focus your attention, as the chapters are quite long. At 10, I am going to put you all in a breakout room so you can check each other's work. When you've found the answers, watch the ITC Review 1 video on the Lectures tab. Towards the end of tomorrow's class, we will have a meeting to discuss the material during which I will answer any questions you had, so please write down your questions as you progress through the material.

If you haven't yet, download the Assignment instructions from ECampus. Remember you can complete the three assignments in any order. Use the walkthrough demo video on your Courses page to complete the Excel assignment.

ITC week 2 - continue with study guide 2 and your assignments. Join the 10am Zoom for study group.


MSE, MSW, MSP - continue with Pearson. If you are having trouble accessing Pearson, please send me a screenshot. If you are in MSW, join the 10am Zoom to work with your classmates.

See you at 8.30.
