Catch-Up Day

Happy Monday, Everyone!

This first week, I know you are all busy getting used to what and where to post, so I am extending a catch-up day to let you all make sure you are on target before we move on to our work for Week 2.

As you will know from the syllabus, I do not accept late work.  Today will be the one exception to that rule.  If you have missing work from Week 1, I will let you catch up on it today.  Here is what you should have completed thus far:

  • Posted two discussion posts of 200-300 words each to the course blog.
  • Posted four responses of 100-150 words each to your classmates' discussion posts.
  • Posted your first essay to the Essay 1 dropbox on the Lessons page of Angel.  (This should not be emailed to me or posted to the course blog or tumblr.)
  • Posted the visual you discussed in Essay 1 to the course blog.  (The assignment sheet noted to post the visual to tumblr, but since no one has done so, and you're all used to posting here by now, this seems the easier solution.)
I have extended the deadline on all of these tasks to 11:59 pm tonight, so if you are behind, take this opportunity to catch up before I post this week's agenda.  If you are still have problems using the course blog or finding the resources on Angel, please contact me and I will be happy to meet you in person or by phone to walk you through everything.

  1. I'm trying to post on here but it keeps giving me this weird error message deal that it can't load properly or something. I reported it to Google (or whoever it send error reports to when you click the feedback button), but I wanted to let you know that it's giving me issues, so that everyone else can be aware beforehand and check early enough to report it and try to fix it.

    1. Hi Jason,

      How long has this been happening, and is it only when you try new posts? I notice you've made some comments this morning, so I want to check what the parameters are.

    2. It was happening earlier today, but I tried again shortly after posting that other comment and it was working fine. I don't know what the issue was, but it seems to have worked itself out and allowed me to post.

  2. I tried uploading my essay to angel but it says the deadline has passed and it won't let me upload it. I thought we were supposed to put our essays in the google docs folder you gave us originally.

    1. I posted last week that due to a new upgrade currently being rolled out by Google some students are now completely unable to use Google Docs, so I need to fall back to Angel. If you posted it to Google already, I will transfer it from there. Otherwise, I will double check the dropbox. I updated it this morning, but it's possible I clicked the wrong day.
