Hello Class!
This will be my final post to this blog. I hope that you have
learned a bit over the course of the semester. My students never
cease to amaze me. I think I learn just as much from my students,
if not more, than my students learn from me. In short, I have had a
great time with you this semester, and wish each of you a relaxing
and fun break. You've earned it.
As of midnight tonight everything should be entered into D2L. Take a
look at your total points then compare that number to the following
scale to see the grade you earned in Comm 141.
A+ 970-1000
A 940-969
A- 900-939
B+ 870-899
B 840-869
B- 800-839
C+ 770-799
C 740-769
C- 700-739
D+ 670-699
D 640-669
D- 600-639
F 600 and below
I will post grades at some point tomorrow, but I don't think they will
be released for a day or two. The mysjsu system will release
grades at its own pace.
Again, I have had a great time with you all this semester, and hope that you have a wonderful break!
Signing off for the last time.....

Week of Dec 10 - 14
Hello Fabulous Students,
As you all know, the only thing left to complete for Comm 141 is the final exam, which is open book/open notes. As a reminder the final exam will open up on Dec 13th at 12:01am, and will close on Dec 14th at 11:59pm. Please be sure to take the final exam during the scheduled time.
Please follow these instructions and reminders to take the final exam:
1). Download the Proctor Form from the "Content" tab on D2L. You can locate it under the "Quizzes and Tests" tab.
2). Find someone to proctor your final exam who is a). NOT a part of Comm 141P at SJSU, and b). Over the age of 21. You do not need to go to a testing center for the final exam, rather, you can ask a family member, friend, etc.....
3). Make sure the proctor watches you take the final exam to attest to the fact that you did not share questions or answers with anyone. In short - the proctor is there to make sure you don't offer assistance or get assistance from another person.
4). Log onto D2L and locate the final exam.
5). Take the test - This is an open book/open notes test.
6). Submit the test within the time limit allowed (see D2L for more info.)
7). Submit the SIGNED proctor form to me through email. You can either scan it into the computer and send it to me, or you can take a HIGH QUALITY digital photo and email the picture to me. Be sure to email the proctor form to the class email address.
NOTE: If I do not receive a signed Proctor Form from you with 24 hours of you completing the final exam, you will earn a zero on the final.
Email me with any questions you might have.
:)

Week of December 3 - 9
Hello Folks!
Here is what is listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages from D2L for this week. This week will be our final discussion week.
Due this week:
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*STUDY FOR FINAL EXAM - The final exam is scheduled on D2L on Dec 13th - 14th. To take the final exam you will access D2L as you have been all semester, and take the final exam. There is one difference with this test - the final exam must be proctored. This means that you are required to have someone who is over 21, and not a part of Comm 141P, watch you take the final exam and attest to the fact that you did not share answers or questions with anyone else in the class. I will post more about this next Monday.
Class Discussion:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE.
1). Discuss your Group Observation Project. Was it a useful exercise? What did you learn? What was good about the project? What can be improved?
2). What have you learned throughout this class? What was your favorite thing about the class? What was your least favorite thing about the class? How can this class be improved?
3). Pick a favorite concept that we have covered through this course and post about it. Explain the concept to refresh our memories. Tell the class why you have chosen this concept, and what it is you like about it.
Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs. (As a reminder, comments will only be counted for the current discussion week. I do not go back to past discussion weeks to look for comments. Once a discussion week is over, it's over. So please make sure you are commenting on a relevant blog post. In other words, pay close attention to the post, and date.
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm141p.blogspot.com/ and look on the right hand side of my blog to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words.
