If you have not turned this assignment in yet, you received an email from me –please turn it in as soon as possible and/or be in touch with me to discuss.

In general, be in touch with any questions anytime.

dear all,

First, a picture of a cute baby seal for those of us who need a little soothing after today’s class– I know it was tough and I appreciate all your careful attention and presence.

 

Next: Module 6 is up here

Please try to attend the event, “Free Migrant Survivors! A Roundtable Discussion and Letter Writing Action” on Thursday, 10/8 from 2-4pm. Attendees will receive extra credit — you’ll have to write a few sentences about the event so that I know you were there.

Remember…

• If you are feeling lost or confused about what is due, check the Course Schedule which is basically a map for the class.
• You can also ask me (or each other) questions here

hi all, I just glanced at your DB posts and I see that a few of you have mentioned grades.  I’m using the Grade Book in Blackboard– so you can look there at any point to see what I have entered (and if there are any discrepancies between your records and mine, let me know immediately!).

So far in this class, all you have been graded on are the Discussion Board posts– and if you follow all instructions and submit the post and comment on time, you get full credit (5 points). The DB adds up– it is 30% of your final grade, so this is something to keep up with all semester.

I will be entering grades for your Interview assignment soon.

Feel free to be in touch with me with specific questions or concerns.

dear all,
