Hello Fabulous Students,
As you all know, the only thing left to complete for Comm 10 is the final exam, which is open book/open notes. As a reminder the final exam will open up on Dec 13th at 12:01am, and will close on Dec 14th at 11:59pm. Please be sure to take the final exam during the scheduled time.
Please follow these instructions and reminders to take the final exam:
1). Download the Proctor Form from the "Content" tab on D2L. You can locate it under the "Quizzes and Tests" tab.
2). Find someone to proctor your final exam who is a). NOT a part of Comm 10 at SJSU, and b). Over the age of 21. You do not need to go to a testing center for the final exam, rather, you can ask a family member, friend, etc.....
3). Make sure the proctor watches you take the final exam to attest to the fact that you did not share questions or answers with anyone. In short - the proctor is there to make sure you don't offer assistance or get assistance from another person.
4). Log onto D2L and locate the final exam.
5). Take the test - This is an open book/open notes test.
6). Submit the test within the time limit allowed (see D2L for more info.)
7). Submit the SIGNED proctor form to me through email. You can either scan it into the computer and send it to me, or you can take a HIGH QUALITY digital photo and email the picture to me. Be sure to email the proctor form to the class email address.
NOTE: If I do not receive a signed Proctor Form from you with 24 hours of you completing the final exam, you will earn a zero on the final.
Email me with any questions you might have.
:)
The Blogging Prof.
Instructor Note: I am currently working on grading your final papers. Please expect to receive your grading sheet through email early this week.

Week of December 3 - 9
Hello Folks!
Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from D2L for this week. This will be our last discussion for the class, however, we have two weeks left of class.
Due this week:
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*STUDY FOR FINAL EXAM - The final exam is scheduled on D2L on Dec 13th - 14th. To take the final exam you will access D2L as you have been all semester, and take the final exam. There is one difference with this test - the final exam must be proctored. This means that you are required to have someone who is over 21, and not a part of Comm 10, watch you take the final exam and attest to the fact that you did not share answers or questions with anyone else in the class. I will post more about this next Monday.
Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post is worth a maximum of 5 points.
1). What have you learned in this class over the course of the semester? Be specific.
2). What was your favorite thing about the class? What was your least favorite thing about the class? How can this class be improved? Again, be specific.
3). Pick one concept from throughout the semester that you feel can use further discussion.
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm10perez.blogspot.com/ to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words and is worth a maximum of 3 points.
Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case questions arise about where comments are located.

Hello Folks!
Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from D2L for this week.

In case you do not want to wait for the "Monday Post", you are more than welcome to get started by looking at those two pages on D2L.
Due this week:
*Read Chapter 4 - The World of Words
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Continue working on your first course essay: "Self, Society & Media" paper. You can find it on D2L by logging in, then clicking on the class (Comm 10). After you have accessed the class, click on "Content", and it should be listed under "Course Assignments". This assignment is due by Sunday, Sept 23rd @ 11:59pm.
Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post is worth a maximum of 5 points.
1). Think about different metaphors for American society. For many years, the country was described as a melting pot, which suggests that differences between citizens are supposed to melt down and blend into one unified character. Recently, some have criticized this melting pot metaphor because it emphasizes wiping out differences, not respecting them. The Reverend Jesse Jackson refers to the United States as both a rainbow and a family quilt. Both of Jackson's metaphors emphasize recognizing and appreciating differences. What metaphor would you propose?
2). Visit the Free Speech Museum's Hate Speech Page. What did you learn about how hate speech is defined, who engages in it, and efforts to regulate hate speech on the Web? What should be done about hate speech on the Web and off it? Should we censor it? Would doing so violate our constitutional right to freedom of speech? Are there other, perhaps less formal, ways to reduce hate speech? http://www.spectacle.org/freespch/musm/hate.html
3). Pick one concept from the reading this week and discuss it in detail.

For the upcoming discussion week, you will do the same thing for each question I pose, but you will write and publish your posts at least 12 hours apart. (See the "Participation Page" on D2L for more detail about participation in this course).
Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from D2L for this week. If you haven't already, please get to know the materials well, that I have uploaded to D2L. It is recommended that you keep a binder for this class, and print out the materials on D2L so you can have them close to you at all times.
Due this week:
*Read Chapter 1 - A First Look at Interpersonal Communication
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Start working on your first course essay: "Self, Society & Media" paper. You can find it on D2L by logging in, then clicking on the class (Comm 10). After you have accessed the class, click on "Content", and it should be listed under "Course Assignments".
Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post is worth a maximum of 5 points.
1). The first part of chapter one in your text describes an older "linear model" of communication. It then goes onto describe "interactive models" of communication. Read through this in your text, in-depth, and discuss both models and how they differ. If possible, give an example from your life.
2). Identify a relationship of yours that has become closer over time. Describe the earliest stage of the relationship. Was it an I-It or an I-You relationship at the time? During that early stage of the relationship, what did you talk about? Were there topics of kinds of talk you avoided? Now, describe the current relationship. What do you now talk about? Can you identify differences over time in your own and the other person's shared fields of experience?
3). Pick one concept from the reading this week and discuss it in detail.
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm10perez.blogspot.com/ to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words and is worth a maximum of 3 points.
Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case there I have questions about where they are located.
