A:  I am the sole author of everything in the class, including the assignments, activities, and online lecture slides.  For the purposes of a class, you can write in the text of a paper things like "as stated in our cultural dimensions activity,...".  It is not necessary to provide a full APA Style citation with dates, etc., for class materials within the context of coursework for that class.

A:  Everything in green on the Class Schedule is my recommended plan for staying on track.  Everything in red is an official due date.  You have Activity Due Dates each week by 11:55 p.m. Saturdays.

A: Be sure you have clicked on everything above any grayed-out links in the Orientation Steps.  If it has an asterisk (*) next to it, iLearn does not consider the Step complete, and clicking on it should fix that.

A: There should be no delay, if you have clicked on and completed everything above the link and iLearn shows it as complete.

A: In this class, we have MUCH more fun and exciting Activities instead of Forums!

A:  Absolutely!  Just be sure you also have the minimum number of academic journal articles.

A:  Yes, you do need to cite them.  Anytime you paraphrase or quote information that you did not originate, you need to cite the original source.

A:  2 sources per theory for each of 4 theories in your chosen area.  Approximately 8 pages for the Literature Review and 2 pages of applying the theories to your chosen media artifact.

A:  For your Required Assignment...a Literature Review is a brief summary of 2 sources (journal articles) per theory for each of 4 theories in your chosen area.  The idea is to learn and demonstrate that you know about the theories.

I recommend tackling one theory and one article at a time.  So, find two articles for each theory.  Then, begin with one theory, sit down with one article about it, and write one double-spaced page summarizing what the article is about.  Be sure you discuss information found in the article's abstract and introductory paragraphs as well as information from the end of the article (the Conclusion/Discussion).  Then, tackle the second article you found about that theory and write one page about it.

After you write your Literature Review in this way, you'll be in a much better position to apply the theories to your media artifact (movie) then go back to the beginning of the paper and write your introduction and abstract for it.

A:  For Interpersonal Communication, chose one of the sub-categories to focus on and research only the four theories for that sub-category.
