In addition to responding to the prompt on your schedule, I'd like you to respond to the poll-> and give your thoughts on how we might make the rest of the time we have most productive (yet maneagable.).
My thought is this: We are behind, and it's partially because I was difficult to reach last week. We have a *lot* of things yet to do, and each was planned to help you in some way but I fear that none will be as useful as they were meant to be if we cram everything into the tiny amount of time we have left. I'm going to list what we have yet to do, and the reason I put it on the schedule. Consider that before you respond, and think about what you would most like to get out of this course:
1st Paper: To get you started thinking about what your job will require, communication wise, and to give you practice in meeting both stated and unstated expectations.
Project: To follow up by having real practice writing *in* your discipline and producing something you could show someone as evidence of your competency.
Job search docs: To help you translate what you know (transferable skills) into another format and produce documents which you can keep and edit when it comes time to look for work, and to teach you a process for getting around the people who screen out applicants.
Creative Inquiry: To encourage you to reflect on what you know and what you've learned and (I'll be honest here . . . ) to give you an opportunity to pick up some points you may need b/c of things you neglected or missed the mark on in other areas.
So, that's what I had in mind when I chose the assignments, but I don't know how much time we will have (since I don't know where you are with your papers and projects.) What are your thoughts?
(And remember, too, to respond to the other blog question that is on your schedule.)
