Post #13: Updates for week of Feb. 7-13

Hola, mis amigos (That means “Hi, my friends” for those of you who are so used to speaking English now that you may have forgotten ;-p):

Yesterday marked exactly one month to the day before our semester ends (March 6).  If you have been procrastinating in completing your assignments, now is the time to get focused and get to work.

Updates:

English I:

1) By the end of this week (Friday, Feb. 11), you need to schedule a 10 minute oral examination with me.  We will simply discuss your video project.  Not scheduling the oral exam will result in a zero, so please make sure to do so.  I’m willing to be flexible to ensure it fits into your schedule, but you must contact me.

2) If possible, please upload your videos to youtube and send me the link to view.  The movies were created in a million different video formats, some of which I am unable to view.  Just to be safe, I recommend doing this ASAP.

3) Module 7 is open and should be completed by this Sunday, February 13th by 11:59pm, Soria.You will have three weeks to complete Module 8 (which will be the last of the semester)

American History:

This is the class where many of you are behind the recommended pace (finishing Module 4/beginning Module 5).  However, some of you are still yet to even complete your Discussion-Based Assessment for Module 2.  No matter what your grade is now, you risk failing the course if you do not pick up the pace.  I know many of the assignments can be a bit difficult and tricky.  But please Skype/email me and we can work together to help you achieve at the highest possible level.

If you need a bit of motivation, I hope this gets you fired up! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!
