Please be sure to hold your questions to the Q & A session at the end of the seminar. We have a lot to cover. If you are continually asking questions, the rest of the class can not get the information needed to complete week 2 and “perhaps” week 3 work complete.

Please be sure to NOT voice class concerns as this will only cause negativity.

No side-bar conversations, please. If you are unable to do so, please complete option 2. ;-)

A Couple of Reminders:A Couple of Reminders:

All work is due on Tuesdays at 11:59 PM EST. Anything submitted after this time (even if it is 12:00 PM EST) it is considered late and will not assess points. (please refer to syllabus)

Always refer to the class for all required documents to upload for a grade.

All work submitted by the due date, will be graded. After this point, you will not be allowed to re-submit work for a higher grade. This is not fair for the class or student. (No half submissions)

Seminar:Seminar:

Seminar is held every week at the same time. If you can not attend, please complete the Option 2 assignment. Or you may attend another seminar.

Active participation is required. Simply, typing one word answers or one letter will not count.

I complete a thorough review of the transcript to look for consistencies. Anything less, your grade will be affected.

Discussion:Discussion:Discussions are to be completed every other

week. To receive the highest possible points, you must follow the syllabus as written.◦Adhere to the minimum word count for your

initial post (150 words), and your responses to students (75 words).
