Thanks for the great class today. As you can see I have edited the site to include the links to your blogs - and some of you have already posted! I will provide you some feedback on how you are doing as a blog poster so far - hopefully before class on Thursday.
Today we got through the introductions so that I have faces for the names on my roster, each of you talked a little about what you are doing in school and what you want to do with writing. Looks like we have a great class - a mix of education majors and some writing majors - so we should be able to learn from each other.
NIH Certificates. I pointed out the link to the NIH assignment - the due date on the assignment sheet is incorrect. It is due September 17, as listed on the course calendar. If you have already completed NIH training for another course - you may send that certificate. Make sure to send an IMAGE of the certificate (I cannot get into your account through the link, and the number is not sufficient evidence of training).
We spent the last part of class creating blogs. You will post to your blog after every class and you earn 250 points for those posts (about 10 points a post, with a few missed blogs for free because there are more than 25 classes). Blog posts are a great place for taking chances, putting out ideas for feedback, and raising questions. See the syllabus for the criteria for evaluation.
I think that about covers it for today.
For next class:
SEND ME A LINK TO YOUR BLOG (if you haven't already)
Work on the NIH training (if you haven't already completed it).
Review the syllabus + calendar and let me know if you have further questions (we kind of ran out of time).
Blog 1: What kind of writing studies research do you think you might be interested in?
