Daily Message for Oct. 11

Good Morning,

It looks like most of you have already turned in your Module 4 documents; I'm excited to see what they look like. If you're running a bit behind, WebCampus will continue to accept late work for a day or two. Do turn something in. Some points are better than no points.

Most of your time this week will be taken up with Module 5. Most of you rightly disregarded the part of my post from Friday regarding Mod 5 quizzes and exercises being due by yesterday. I should just stick to bulleted lists; I'm doing a bad job of editing/catching text that should be deleted in this blog form for some reason.

To clarify and confirm, here's what's due this week:

• Friday, Oct. 15: Exercise 5, Quizzes 9 and 10
• Exam 5 Questions will be available Friday, Oct. 15 in this space.

As I mentioned in a post on the discussion board over the weekend, what you need to read for this module will depend on which edition of the textbook you're using. People who have the first edition of the book need to read Chapters 8-9-10. People with the (brand new right before the semester started) second edition only have nine chapters, so you'll just read chapters 8-9. The basic content for both editions is the same, but chapter structures were re-organized in this new version into fewer overall chapters.

Regardless of which version of the textbook you're using, you should be okay for the exercise and for the quizzes. Exercise 5 comes from much earlier in the textbook, and the quizzes are generally broad and conceptual, not at all focused on trivia or "gotcha" questions. Feel free to share compare/answers for the quizzes if that puts you at ease. And, I'll keep an eye quiz answers for quizzes 8, 9, 10. If I see trends where it looks like people are consistently missing some question, I'll spot everyone the points for that question.

I think that's about all for this morning.

Have a great day!

Julie
