Hello Class.

I am very disappointed in the lack of participation in this class. There is a handful of students that are right on target, and I appreciate your hard work. You know who you are.

The rest of you need to GET IT TOGETHER! This class depends on you.
You are not treating this class as you should. It is no different than a classroom. If you miss a crit, you are missing an exam! It is unacceptable, and your peers need you to proceed.

You are to RESPOND TO EVERYONE. If someone has a weak idea, they need you the MOST. Help them work it out. That is our job in this class. Do not just praise the folks who nailed it on the first try. Everyone has a different learning curve. If you have not given the students you have posted a critique, I STRONGLY suggest that you get on there and do just that ASAP!

The rules are very simple.
You post your assignment on every TUESDAY BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

Then, upon your awakening on Wednesday, there should be 13 Blogs posted for you to critique at your leisure. You have all day to do so, just be done that WEDNESDAY BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

I WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS.

If things are going on with you that are preventing you from doing your best, it is your job to keep an open communication with me. I am very understanding when I know what is going on in the moment.

DO not respond to this post but send an email, letting me know that you have received it, understand its contents, and provide any comments that may help me organize this blog, so that it can run more smoothly for you, if that is the issue. I am happy to have a phone conversation with anyone who needs to be walked through the blogging process. Just send your # and I will call you.

Sincerely,

Valerie
