Sunday June 21, 2008

Good morning folks! I hope you are having a great weekend! I know I am! To celebrate the start of summer we attended an outdoor concert in the park: We went to see an Elton John impersonator! I know you're jealous, aren't you? ;)

Here's what's on the agenda for the next few days:

1. What's due today? Your Chapter 4 Freelance Writer assignments are due tonight by 8 with responses and declarations due by 11.

2. What's coming up? Your Chapter 4 Final Thoughts assignments are due tomorrow by 11. Then it's on to Chapter 12 (yes, that's right--we're not following the order of the book this week). Your Chapter 12 Starting Assumptions are due tomorrow by 8 with responses by 11 and your Reading Quiz is due by 11.

3. What else? I sent out a (painfully) long email on Friday explaining the details of this week's upcoming Adopt-a-Species assignment. You should be getting a head start on those assignments just in case you run into problems setting up your blog. I've received blog links from 3 of you so far--good work! Don't forget those extra credit opportunities for setting up your blog early and for adopting a non-vertebrate organism!

4. Half way there! This is week 4 of the 8-week summer semester. That means that as of Friday we will be half way done (insert copious cheering and here)! This is the time where you need to be looking at your grades and deciding if you're on track to earn the grade you want. If you're not, be thinking about what is the best strategy for you: do you need to be better at declaring your work? following the instructions? do you need to consider dropping the course? If you are concerned or have questions, please let me know and I'll help you out as best as I can!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Heather
