Annotate and analyze; that helps you so much.]]> 2018-04-15 15:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894090 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894535 If you don’t understand the syllabus, don’t stress out. Everything will be explained step-by-step as you move along through the semester. The instructor does a fantastic job at making sure everything is clear. He will even give you advice and a lot of helpful resources. Take advantage of them. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894535 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894744 I think the best advice I can give my fellow students about this course is that stay on top of the assignment. I print out the assignment sheets and follow the instructions on the sheets to help me make sure that I have all the requirements met. Also, I think that it is a great help that you review the video that the instructor provides it is a great help to be able to watch the videos over again when I am lost. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894744 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894824 I think that it is a great help that you review the video that the instructor provides. it is a great help to be able to watch the videos over again when I am lost. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894824 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894964 Take time to appreciate each assignment because each one will teach you something new about yourself. You may think you are a nonjudgmental person, or you have a great understanding of things, but you will notice things about yourself due to this class. Use this class to better yourself as a human being and let it teach you a new way of seeing things around you. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251894964 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895091 Definitely the most important thing is to plan your week ahead of time and to get started on planning the assignments as soon as you know about them. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895091 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895406 This is a critical thinking and writing course, so there will be several papers to write that must express your highest intellectual thought. Although this is true, your papers do not have to be perfect. If there is any confusion regarding an assigned task, be sure to ask questions. DO NOT try to guess your way out of it. If you participate in weekly lectures, discussion posts, essays, and stay focused on your goals, you will have a successful semester with Professor Acree. ]]> 2018-04-15 15:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895406 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895591 If you do not you have some of the ENG 001 skills needed, especially if you are a returning student that tested out of ENG 001, GO TO THE TASC CENTER,  THEY ARE GREAT AND CAN HELP BRING YOU UP TO SPEED QUICKLY]]> 2018-04-15 15:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895591 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895703 The most important advice that I could give any student taking this class would be to start on your assignments as early as possible and keep on top of it. This course is very interesting and fast paced, so you will not want to fall behind.]]> 2018-04-15 15:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251895703 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251896056 For next semester students, I would advise them to go into the class with an open mind. There is a lot to be learned from this course and in my opinion, it is not your typical English class]]> 2018-04-15 15:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251896056 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251896190 The only advice I can give is to not procrastinate. It’s easy to forget you are taking online classes, especially when you have a job, or when you have other classes to take. If you need help with anything, it’s always a good idea to ask your instructor for help.]]> 2018-04-15 15:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251896190 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251899461 2018-04-15 15:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/251899461 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252628227 I know it's easy to think that this course is probably just another course giving you busy work but everything we've learned so far, I've found useful and I wish I would have taken this class sooner so that I could have applied more of the information to other courses I have taken ]]> 2018-04-17 15:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252628227 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252629120 As for as advice for future students be realistic about what course load you will be able to handle given the circumstances. ]]> 2018-04-17 15:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252629120 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252629879 One piece of advice that I would pass on to future students would be that they stay on top of their assignments and complete them as early as possible. I strongly encourage future students to also listen to the advice that Professor Acree gives and apply it to all future papers because it is very useful and he does whatever he can to ensure that we succeed in this course.

Get online often and make sure you are up to date with the assignment sheets as soon as they open so that you have at least an idea of what is expected. Do not open the assignment sheet the day its due or a day before it is due. In other words do not procrastinate. ]]> 2018-04-17 15:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252630807 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252632232 I think the best piece of advice I could give to a student that is new to this class is to simply try their best, even if they aren’t confident in their writing skills. From what I have learned in this class, your grade is earned through a visible attempt of trying your best, instead of being perfect ]]> 2018-04-17 15:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252632232 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252633209 Some advice that I would give the student for your next class would be always read through and keep up with the modules. Sometimes there might be more work one week compared to another week. ]]> 2018-04-17 15:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252633209 sacree https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252634207 For anyone that I hear taking this class, I would recommend to really focus on critical thinking. Nowadays people have such difficulties understand issues around the world, Some of which could easily be solved by just actually taking the time and forming your own opinion through means of critical thinking.

For example, discussion posts say that initial discussion posts and responses are due on Friday, while the deadline to turn them in is on Monday with a point penalty. It is in your best interest to get them complete by Friday or any earlier if possible ]]> 2018-04-17 15:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sacree/c4yvwz9e92t8/wish/252635157
