I went through my old PPT files and did some updating. I'll start using these again in Summer I in my classes, but I wanted to provide copies here, as well. Students in my current classes might find these useful, too. The first presentation covers some good basic tips for all online students:
APA is something we can all work on. This presentation covers the basics:
Understanding how to read an assignment for keywords is an important skill in any class:
Not sure why the type of source is important? Not clear on what a scholarly source is? Check this one out:

The courses I teach pretty much all focus on persuasion on some level (even if it is just persuading me that you know what the assignment criteria is). Here are two useful resources for you to review before approaching me or another instructor by email (or private message) or if you wish to appeal a grade:

To access these resources, you simply need to log in to the Baker College eLibrary. If you go through the Library tab at the top of the screen, you will see a link for Find Videos. Click that, then Films on Demand. If you go through My eLibrary in your course menu, click on the Article Databases link, then on Library Resources. At that point, you'll see the Find Videos icon.

Of the total posts for the week, in the first two sections, 1/3 of them are mine. In those two sections, one student in one has responded directly to my posts and two students in the second section have. In the third section, my posts account for roughly 1/5 of the posts with six students directly responding to my posts. I'm in Flint, MI tonight, and will be here until the day after graduation at Baker. Having a lovely time reconnecting with some longtime friend(s) (the aren't "old" and one is a long-time friend; the others are newer friends) and colleagues. This year is much better in terms of getting settled in and schmoozing. I worked out my live class schedule so it was done before I left today (last year was a nightmare in the live chat area). When I was in grad school and even while working on my dissertation, I used to have dreams about tornadoes. In the dreams, I was always either outside or in a room completely made of glass walls, so I had a clear vision of the tornado bearing down on me. Not hard to figure out what that was about, really. In the dreams, I was anxious, but always knew in the back of my mind I'd make it out ok. Well, I survived the presentation that I had to do today. I tend to be hesitant to perform in public, as you can see from the picture below. Some days, I still feel that way when asked to smile for the camera :-) My session participants were great, though, so that made the presentation easier. |
