Beginning of Week 7 and Week 2A

In our original course, we are three-fourths of the way through.

This week is the beginning of week 7.

We also have started a new course, and have welcomed Sean Emery as part of the online community. This will be the second week of that course. We are calling it week 2A so that we can all have the same designation after next week.

We will have two posting areas this week. The Week 7 posting area will be where Tyler will post his initial comments about his book. The Week 2A posting area will be where Sean will post his initial comments concerning his book. We will comment in both areas this week.

To get started, the first post should include the name of the book and the author. Then, look at how many chapters that remain in the book. Tyler, divide that number by 2. That will give you how many chapeters we are going to discuss this week. Sean, divide that number by 10, and that will give you how many chapeters we are going to discuss this week in your section.

So, to summarize, in Week 7 posts, the first entry will be the information about the name and author of Tyler's book, followed by the titles of the chapters we will discuss this week.

In Week 2A posts, the first entry will be the information about the name and author of Sean's book, followed by the titles of the chapters we will discuss this week.

Again, each of us needs to logon at least five times during the week, preferably on different days if possible. (We have been exceeding this, so keep up the good work.) We also need to post at least 9 quality comments during the week. (A quality comment is defined as 3 or more sentences and it does relate to the topic we are discussing.) We have been exceeding this also. When we know that we are going to meet the required comments, we can also throw in a lot of "one-liner" comments, humorous comments, social comments, and other comments that do not relate to the topics at hand. The easy way to do this is to make sure that you start with two of what we call quality comments each day, and then have fun commenting back and forth!

Please post your comments this week under the entries: Week 7 Posts and Week 2A Posts.

Visitors are welcome to comment in these areas also.
