Week 2 Web Conference

The web conference this week clarified several things. Dr. Abernathy stated that we should have at least ten different sources cited in our comprehensive final paper. You can use a site twice, but it will only count as one source. She asked that the sources be varied as possible and the quotes are to be unique, if possible. There is no limit to the maximum number of citations you have to have.

She stated that while it is not a requirement, it would be nice to see the assignments in the ePortfolio. The use of music, video and graphics will serve to enhance the overall presentation of the portfolio, but is not a requirement. She suggested personalizing the site to include family information, if you feel comfortable doing so.

When the course is done, we will have reflected over eight courses and eight standards. When reflecting on the courses, do not mention the assignments, but rather the learning from completing the assignments. When reflecting on the standards, you can mention any assignment that goes with the standard.

APA style and scholarly writing was stressed. Please utilize reference material to assist with the APA.

Everyone should have received an email through their Lamar account that will have a link to apply for graduation. There is a deadline, so make sure to apply. It does not matter if you are going to be present for the ceremony or not, you must still apply for graduation.

Web conference for next week will be on Thursday at 7:30 pm, instead of the usual Saturday morning conference.

A final note was given to use the discussion board for questions and help from your classmates. Both Dawn and Dr. Abernathy made sure everyone knew that they would each be available to help in any way needed.
