Mid Term

I have graded all papers that were due by mid term. If you want to know your grade for the class, email me and I will give you  your grade. For mid term, there were 598 points due. So if you look in the grade book and see 50% percent, that is about the total for the semester.

Having said that, remember, that just because you are making an A for midterm does not mean you will finish the semester with an A. You will need to finish the work for the semester. Just because you have less than an A does not mean you will be unsuccessful at the end. Get your work in.

Now, for those of you who do not have all the 1A,1B,2A, and 2B there is a twist in the grading system. You get 100 points for having ALL the assignments turned in. This is an ALL OR NOTHING point. It is to your advantage to have all the proficiency projects turned in. there is no sliding scale. so if you have 3/4 turned in, that is still a 0-zero. only all four will gain 100 points.

When you have all assignments finished, that includes the observations, you may schedule your final presentation via Skype.

Mid Term

For those of you who have finished your research paper, Congratulations! In order to be successful in this class, this research paper must be done. The mid term exam will be a power point created from the research paper.  By now you should have at least 8 of your blog journals finished and at least one of your observations, Observation1. All of your proficiency project pieces, 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B should be finished. After mid term( Check the due dates paper for the exact date,) I will grade papers and lock the drop boxes for those items.

For those of you who have struggled, the good news is that from here on out, you only have a few assignments left.
1. Make sure Skype is set up and I have your skype address.
2. Finish the last two observations
3. Finish your blog assignments
4.Do your final presentation with me, using Skype.

This will allow you to focus on your finals for your other classes. Most of the work in this class is done in the first half of the semester.

I hope you are reading your textbook. There is a lot of good information there and none of the chapters are too long or too technical.

Good work, Spring of 2012 Communications class. You have made it half way!
