May 8 to May 26 - Beginning of the End

Hey Everyone,

I want to start by thanking you all for this school year. You took the chance on a new school and I think that worked out. I would hope to see you graduate through RSA and continue to contribute to its success. 

My hope is that through this course, you were able to grow in your understanding of yourself as a learner and what it takes to accomplish tasks and finish strong. Many of the skills you demonstrated here are the prerequisites of being a strong college student. I know that the class may not have been the most fun or engaging, but it does replicate the online class experience.

I wish I could be here with you next year, but unfortunately that is not how that worked out, yet I am confident the teacher next year will be even better.

Take care and feel free to stay in touch!

Mar 13 to Mar 17 - Shasta College Week 9

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the late post. I hope that you enjoyed out group reading. I really do think that is important. When I think back to high school I know I undervalued the ability to orally read academic texts in class. I promise, it will have positive impacts for your future.

This week marks the mid point to the semester. I will start to discuss the overall structure of your term paper, and reminding you of best practices.

Thanks,

Mr. T

Hey Everyone,

This week we NEED to get in a Research Proposal. So many of us are caught in a cycle of not doing work on time, so therefore we need to make a change. This week I will institute a seating chart and ensure that we are seated there at all times. 

My hope is that this will help everyone do better.

Take Care,

Hey Everyone,

Hope you enjoyed the snow last week. Actually, looks like many of you may have enjoyed it too much. Not very many people did work last week. REMEMBER: The Shasta College schedule is not the RSA schedule. You follow Canvas and the Shasta College schedule.

I will assume that you all emailed Maready and asked for an extension already.

Let's get to it this week though, first making up some work, and then crushing this week!

Hey Everyone,

Hope you feel better about your topic and a bibliography. Again, we have about 3 students that still haven't submitted. This behavior can and will lead to failure if not corrected. Please let me know today and tomorrow what help you need.

This week we have Quiz #1. There is not a lot of other information posted at this time, but this is a week to get caught up on the readings, your itnquizitives (if still open), and the bibliography.

Hey Folks,

This week we need complete the weekly reading/inquizitive as well as a bibliography for our term paper. Remember, it is best to think of a topic, come up with a more specific question on that topic, and then let the answer to that question be the thesis of your paper.

Looks like Professor Maready has still not published the module for the week as I write this, but I am sure it will be updated soon.
