Week 5 Lesson Notes

Notes from Instructor - Week 5

---

 

 Dear Class,

Here are somethings to keep in mind as you work throughout the week:

 

Lesson 14:

• A few of you have expressed confusion about the differences between the abstract, introduction, and conclusion. For some extra help distinguishing sections, please click on Purdue OWL's APA formatting website here. I use this website constantly, and it can help you differentiate the different parts of an essay formatted in APA.
• Your partner assignments are posted on your Analysis Paper - Revised discussion board.(Well, they will be before Monday morning. I won't assign partners until after the Saturday night deadline to post essay drafts.)
• Really do plan on spending at least 25 minutes evaluating your partner's paper. You are tasked with helping your partner make his/her paper as great as it can be, so be thorough.
• On the submission page, please be specific about your concerns. If you say "No concerns at this time," that is fine. But if you're really worried about your abstract and want me to take a look at it, just ask! I am happy to help you, especially when you want specific feedback.

Lesson 15:

• Remember that I will be in my virtual office at 2 pm MT on Wednesday, and I would love to help you in my office. Click here to join me. If you would like to set up a meeting at another time, please email me or post below in the Q&A board, and we can set up an alternate meeting time.
• Personally, I like to end one task and THEN move to the next. If you feel like your analysis paper is ready for submission, submit it now (directions regarding how to submit your essay are on the Lesson 16 main page). Then, you can spend time doing the rest of the work for this lesson in the Arguments text.

Lesson 16:

• I'm still deciding whether or not to put you in small groups for this D-board work. I like having you have access to all of your classmates' contributions, but I don't want you to feel like you have absolutely nothing to contribute if you are one of the last students to post. Any preferences--just post below in the Q&A. I'll decide by Monday night.

I love you and appreciate you. Keep working hard, and walking the talk!

Love,

Sister Bowen
