I guess this can be my progress thread.
Start date 11/01/18
As of 11/14/18:
44%
15/34 CU's
1 OA scheduled for Saturday the 17th.
1 pre-assessment planned for Wednesday the 21st, then OA for the 24th.
Hope to be 21/34 on the 24th.
Biggest takeaway so far:
Write the papers with the prompts as headings so that the grader knows exactly what you are addressing so they do not count you off for missing a point that is actually there, EVEN IF it makes the paper FAR less readable. You can write excellent papers all you want, but it does not matter if the random person checking the boxes on the rubric does not take the time to understand what you MEANT rather than what you could have pinpointed with the heading.
Made up example:
A2a. Describe a way that blah blah blah is an effective ethical policy
Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph
Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph Paragraph. Etc.
Things I am not looking forward to: DDDM course. Feedback online says this course and the evaluation team are in need of improvement/more conforming standards.
