Week of August 8-12

I'm a little sad that this is our last week of class. I hope you all have had a good time over the summer in Comm 105. This is one of my very favorite classes because it covers a wide variety of theories, ideas and topics. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.

Listed below is a summary of what's listed on the Participation and Schedule Pages on D2L for this week:

You have two things to complete this week:
1). Discussion this week - there is NO TIME RESTRICTION this week, but PLEASE please PLEASE complete the discussion as early as possible.

2). Final Exam - see notes below. The final exam will be available on August 11th and 12th, all day. Please take the final exam on either the 11th (Wednesday), or 12th (Thursday). After the final exam closes on the 12th, there will be no other opportunity to take the final exam, so please plan ahead.

***Final exam - Please download the Proctor Form from D2L. You will have a proctor, someone over the age of 21, fill out the form and sign it after they have watched you complete the entire final exam within the allotted time. Send the proctor form to me through email. You can scan the form and email it, or take a high quality digital picture and send it to me in .jpg format.

The final exam will include all of the chapters we have covered throughout the semester. It is open book/open notes.

Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts:

1). What concept/s in the class have you found most interesting? What was it about that concept/s that you found interesting?

2). What have you learned throughout this class? What was your favorite thing about the class? What was your least favorite thing about the class? How can this class be improved?

3). Pick a favorite concept that we have covered through this course and post about it. Explain the concept. Tell the class why you have chosen this concept, and what it is you like about it?

***Remember to post 3 comments to your colleagues blogs this week. As a reminder, the comments must be about the discussion this week. Posting on a past discussion will NOT count for credit.

***Reminder: This week is the last week I will hold office hours.

  1. Hi The Blogging Prof:

    So by "NO TIME RESTRICTION" do you mean we do not have to adhere to the 12 hour "rule" we've been following for the semester? Therefore, we could just post tomorrow and Monday at whatever times and it would be acceptable?

    Thanks for clarifying!

  2. Hi gunnerisfunner,

    You are absolutely correct. You do not have to adhere to the 12 hour time 'rule' this week since it's the final week in class, and it is a short week.
