Sohere we go You will find ALL of the readings for the 3 target areas posted on Moodle . Check the dates which are listed. During those time periods Discussion Forums will begin and Reflective Papers will be Due. All 2-credit students must participate in all 3 discussions and submit Reflections. 1-credit students can choose to participate in ONE of these Discussions. You will receive feedback from our first Discussion and Reflection before the next Forum opensso you have a sense of what the assessment will look like. Watch for that feedbackcoming soon!
more points to consider All students (1-2 credit) will be asked to review the short interviews I will be having with each of our authors (TC alums). Even if youre not participating in the Forums or Writing, you need to listen in to hear what they have to say. All students will be participating in the final Conference Readings Discussion and Reflection . Well be having some exciting speakers that you wont want to miss! Stay tuned for that as the semester proceeds. Dont wait until the end to seek help in navigating Moodle or the interviews or Discussion Forums. There is no right or wrong time to step back and see if youre on track. Check in with myself or Sarah Mallory (T.A.) if you need a tow!
