With three full weeks behind us in the Fall 2020 semester, the dozen students in IS101-3022 are occupying the full spectrum of progress and performance. Majority are keeping up with the coursework listed in the semester time table. A few are leading the group while a few are falling dangerously behind! This past week, I introduced my students to a set of email Inbox rules I designed them help them combat the onslaught of emails that fill up their CSN Student Email account's Inbox. Seven (7) students took Bonus Quiz 2 Self-Reliance, Self-Responsibility, and Self-Starting with Adrian earning the highest score :-) Bridget kicked off A3 Tailored Cover Letter and Resume by sharing a job hunting experience and answers to thirteen questions. More importantly, the entry-level Law Coordinator job posting – with multiple openings – she just landed is also helping out a classmate in her pursuit of a Paralegal career. Congratulations Bridget ^_^ Stephanie lead the replying to DT03 Windows 10 and Listing of Requirements from Job Posting. By her reply, I say she has comparable qualifications as Bridget and if Stephanie actually applies, I hope she lands the job as well. |

I just virtually met with Matthew to for a Q&A session to vet the fitness of the job posting he chose to use for A3 and help him formatting and polishing his resume. That virtual meeting was open to the entire class as will be future virtual meetings unless the student requests it to be one-on-one or with a specified audience.
We also quality controlled the email Inbox rules Matthew created. I directed the hardworking young man to create an additional rule to specifically trap and show IS101 meeting invites from Canvas in a new 'IS101 Meetings' folder. I will share this with the class this week via an email. I will also continue to individually meet with each student to do the same as what I did for Matthew and/or help the student to catch up. |

Soaring into the Autumn Sky

Congratulations to all my fellow colleagues. I know by reading each of your blog posts and collaborating during class that we are all working furiously and tirelessly despite having other obligations and during these crazy COVID times (only 109 days left in 2020!). With temperatures back on the rise after a few days last week in the 80's, the title of this blogpost, Professor Albert, brings me solace knowing cooler weather is around the corner. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe BQ2 was a real eye-opener on what to expect for these quizzes. I am glad it was just a bonus quiz!
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure I was not at all prepared for bonus quiz 2 but now I know how to better prepare myself so I can earn those extra bonus points. Thank you for the mention Professor Wu and I also hope Stephanie applies.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your help this week Mr. Wu. Every week you show all of your students how dedicated you are to our education and not just helping us pass and move on.
ReplyDeleteI like how the emails I get for your class are more organized. The rules are new to me and i will implement them for my other classes.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you're mentioning students and talking about how good they're doing is wonderful. I feel like this approach to teaching helps provide motivation for us.
ReplyDeleteI like the email inbox rulers, it helps me organize my emails instead of having them all in inbox.
ReplyDeleteThis virtual course has surpassed my expectations, and I like the option to join majority of the Q&A conferences. Kudos to my classmates for their accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm one of the students that is falling behind, I know this class is going to be a big help help in my career. I am going to catch up and finish strong. I have to because there is a lot riding on me finishing my degree and I am so close to finishing I can't take any steps back.
