Hello. Composition one students.
00:04 - 00:07
Um This week we are working on module one.
00:08 - 00:10
Um And so I wanted to walk you all through
00:11 - 00:13
the assignments that are in there in case you had
00:13 - 00:18
questions. Um We were supposed to do module one in
00:18 - 00:20
the intro module in one week right?
00:20 - 00:22
Because I messed up the syllabus, we just ended up
00:22 - 00:25
doing the intro module and then module one.
00:25 - 00:28
Um So you know the intro module and module one
00:28 - 00:31
are pretty light on work um Compared to what we
00:31 - 00:32
will usually do.
00:32 - 00:34
Um So you know so it's good to kind of
00:35 - 00:38
start off slow in the semester but don't think that
00:38 - 00:40
the amount of work you did last week and this
00:40 - 00:43
week and will continue to get you through for the
00:43 - 00:43
rest of the semester.
00:44 - 00:47
Um But what is in module one?
00:48 - 00:51
Um First off you need to read chapter eight on
00:51 - 00:56
sentences. Um Your e book is located in the very
00:56 - 00:58
top module in the course.
00:59 - 01:02
I would recommend downloading that pdf and then you can
01:02 - 01:05
highlight on it, make notes on it.
01:05 - 01:08
Um And do you know what you need to with
01:08 - 01:12
your reading after reading chapter eight you feel you need
01:12 - 01:12
more help?
01:13 - 01:15
Um I do have a page in the course that
01:15 - 01:18
has a quick video and some help from Khan Academy.
01:19 - 01:21
Um If you feel like you need more help particularly
01:21 - 01:22
with the sentence types.
01:23 - 01:26
Um And then once you have read that content um
01:27 - 01:29
you want to go in and take the quiz right?
01:29 - 01:32
Um I try to put a good number of multiple
01:33 - 01:35
choice questions and every quiz though that's not always possible
01:36 - 01:36
with english.
01:37 - 01:39
Um You know sometimes you will have to write longer
01:39 - 01:40
form answers.
01:41 - 01:43
Um All of our quizzes in this course are timed
01:44 - 01:47
and you can only take them once so do make
01:47 - 01:51
sure that you have read chapter eight before you take
01:51 - 01:51
the quiz.
01:52 - 01:55
If you are trying to skim it while you are
01:55 - 01:58
taking the quiz you are going to struggle um to
01:58 - 02:00
complete that quiz in the allotted time.
02:01 - 02:04
Um Please remember that I have to go in and
02:05 - 02:07
grade all quizzes before your score is finalized.
02:09 - 02:12
Um So you might get um you know I think
02:12 - 02:14
this one is worth like maybe 18 points.
02:14 - 02:16
Um You know maybe you'll only get 10 out of
02:16 - 02:18
18 but then I have to go in and grade
02:19 - 02:23
the other answers, write your essay answers um And uh
02:23 - 02:25
fill in the blank and things like that and then
02:25 - 02:28
you will get some more points um after I have
02:28 - 02:30
had a chance to go in and great that quiz.
02:30 - 02:32
So if you get a low score to start with,
02:32 - 02:33
don't freak out.
02:34 - 02:37
I grade um All quizzes and discussion boards.
02:37 - 02:39
I'm within a week of the due date.
02:39 - 02:41
Um So it's due next monday.
02:42 - 02:45
Usually thursday and friday are migrating days so it's due
02:46 - 02:47
on monday, I'll get it graded for you by thursday
02:48 - 02:51
or friday and then you will have that finalized score.
02:52 - 02:53
Thanks. All right.
02:54 - 02:55
The second big thing we need to do this week
02:56 - 02:58
is read the chase by Annie Dillard.
02:59 - 03:01
Most of what we read in this course.
03:02 - 03:05
Um it should say story is in modules or maybe
03:05 - 03:06
is in module one.
03:06 - 03:09
I don't know that the text next to me right
03:09 - 03:13
now is not perfect, but that story is linked in
03:13 - 03:13
modules, right?
03:14 - 03:14
I think actually it's a pdf.
03:15 - 03:17
Um So you just need to click in module one
03:18 - 03:20
where it says The Chase by any Dillard and that
03:20 - 03:23
story will download for you and you can read it
03:23 - 03:24
there on your computer screen.
03:25 - 03:28
Um Most of our readings will be included in the
03:28 - 03:30
book here for the first couple of weeks, I'll include
03:31 - 03:34
that file of the reading in the module, but as
03:34 - 03:37
we move through the course, you will be expected to
03:37 - 03:39
download that e book and find the reading in your
03:39 - 03:42
e book on the pages I have noted um quick
03:43 - 03:45
tip. Please make sure you're not just clicking on the
03:45 - 03:46
assignments that are worth points in the course.
03:47 - 03:49
You need to view every page and every module.
03:50 - 03:52
Um If you are not viewing every page and every
03:52 - 03:54
module, the course will not let you progress.
03:55 - 03:59
Um So, module to won't open until you viewed all
03:59 - 04:02
of the required pages in the intro module and then
04:02 - 04:04
once you viewed all those required pages module to will
04:04 - 04:06
open. Um and then once you viewed all the required
04:07 - 04:09
pages in module one, module three will open.
04:10 - 04:12
So if you're if you're not viewing all of those
04:13 - 04:15
module pages and you're not going to be able to
04:15 - 04:16
progress in the course.
04:16 - 04:19
And so do please make sure your viewing everything in
04:19 - 04:22
the course, not just the assignments that are worth points.
04:23 - 04:25
Yeah. Um and then you're going to post to that
04:25 - 04:26
discussion board.
04:26 - 04:29
Right? And we have a two part discussion this week,
04:30 - 04:33
so I have asked you to introduce yourself and address
04:34 - 04:36
um Dillard Story, right?
04:37 - 04:40
So we will have longer discussion posts um for our
04:40 - 04:42
original post this week.
04:42 - 04:44
Um I don't think you can see the other posts
04:45 - 04:48
until you post, so um you know, so when you
04:48 - 04:50
get in there it might not look like anyone has
04:50 - 04:53
posted anything, but once you post your original post, then
04:53 - 04:56
you'll be able to see everyone else's because once you
04:57 - 05:00
make that original post, you do need to make two
05:01 - 05:03
replies by that monday due date.
05:04 - 05:07
Um This is the other discussion board requirement that is
05:07 - 05:09
confusing to students and that is that you need to
05:09 - 05:13
post on each discussion on two separate days of the
05:13 - 05:13
week for full points.
05:14 - 05:16
Um So at the very latest you need to make
05:16 - 05:20
your original discussion post by sunday, um you could do
05:20 - 05:22
one reply on sunday and then you need to log
05:22 - 05:24
back in on monday and make that second reply.
05:25 - 05:28
Um But when I grade, I expect to see that
05:28 - 05:31
you posted on the discussion board on two separate days.
05:32 - 05:34
Um And so that is worth three points that you're
05:34 - 05:36
getting in there on two separate days.
05:37 - 05:38
Why why do I make you do this?
05:39 - 05:41
Um First off you need to be logging under the
05:41 - 05:43
course multiple times per week right?
05:43 - 05:45
Logging in one day and getting everything done is not
05:46 - 05:48
going to help you absorb the material or keep up
05:48 - 05:48
with the course.
05:49 - 05:51
Um So this is one way for me to make
05:51 - 05:53
sure that you are logging in multiple times.
05:54 - 05:59
Additionally, discussion boards are supposed to replace a conversation that
05:59 - 06:02
we would have in class right where you would say
06:02 - 06:04
something in, a classmate would reply and then you would
06:04 - 06:05
reply back.
06:06 - 06:08
So if we are just getting on the discussion board
06:09 - 06:10
and just kind of writing some stuff on one day
06:11 - 06:14
we're not really taking part in a discussion right or
06:15 - 06:17
just kind of saying our stuff and leaving and not
06:17 - 06:17
coming back.
06:18 - 06:21
So in returning to that discussion board once you have
06:21 - 06:23
posted and then we're able to have more of a
06:24 - 06:26
kind of open conversation where we're reading each other's replies
06:27 - 06:29
to our ideas and then replying back to those.
06:30 - 06:32
Um So in the end you need to make at
06:32 - 06:34
least three posts on every discussion board.
06:34 - 06:36
One of those should be a more lengthy original post
06:37 - 06:38
and then you want to peer replies.
06:39 - 06:42
So three posts total and we want to do those
06:42 - 06:44
on at least two separate days in the week.
06:45 - 06:48
Mhm. Um You also want to start to think about
06:48 - 06:51
essay one, you do have a short survey in the
06:51 - 06:53
course. I did not include that here in this list
06:54 - 06:56
but you do have a survey to make sure that
06:56 - 06:57
you're doing okay and canvas.
06:58 - 07:00
Um Do you start to think about essay one?
07:00 - 07:01
Right. We will do planning for S.
07:02 - 07:02
A. One next week.
07:03 - 07:05
Um And then your essay one will be do the
07:05 - 07:05
following week.
07:06 - 07:08
Um So you know so do you start to brainstorm
07:09 - 07:09
some ideas for S.
07:10 - 07:10
A. One now?
07:11 - 07:14
Um That s A one assignment she is posted in
07:14 - 07:14
module one.
07:15 - 07:17
You can also find it in modules two and three.
07:18 - 07:21
Um I think that gets us to where we need
07:21 - 07:21
to be.
07:22 - 07:24
Um Please make sure you message me if you have
07:24 - 07:26
any questions I have heard from a number of students
07:27 - 07:31
already um asking questions about things like discussion board posting
07:31 - 07:32
requirements, right?
07:32 - 07:35
Or making sure that I can see their discussion board
07:35 - 07:38
post. Um Some students have been messaging asking where they
07:38 - 07:39
can find any day alerts The Chase.
07:40 - 07:43
Um So you know so if you do have any
07:43 - 07:45
questions please make sure that you message me.
07:46 - 07:48
Um And I think that's all the content I have
07:49 - 07:51
for this week and I will try to post my
07:51 - 07:54
updates earlier in the week but thursday is my first
07:54 - 07:57
non teaching day of the week, every other day I'm
07:57 - 07:58
pretty packed with classes.
07:58 - 08:01
Um So it might not come out until thursday some
08:01 - 08:03
weeks, but I will try to post a course update
08:04 - 08:07
for you all every week, so if you do have
08:07 - 08:09
any questions, please reach out so I can help you.
08:10 - 08:11
Thank you all so much.
08:11 - 08:14
Um have have been working through module one and you
08:14 - 08:16
let me know if you have questions or concerns.
08:16 - 08:16
