Week+4.1+Web+Conference


 * Week 4 Assignment, Part 4.1**


 * Web Conference - 10/29/11**

In our web conference today, Dr. Abernathy reviewed with us particular details to remember for our Comprehensive Exam paper. Reminding us that there is a total of (10) cites needed for the entire paper, regardless of how long or short the paper is.

Also that there are reflections due on (8) course embedded **assignments,** not (8) courses. That our reflections should concentrate on particular assignments within those (8) courses. We are not expected to reflect on the entire class itself.

One class member asked about the Week 5 assignment and if it would be available to begin early, if they should be ready for it. It seemed to not be activated at this time. Dr. A assured them that she would be sure to activate it by the end of the day. I’m envious that they are that far ahead as I’m struggling to finish up this week’s assignment to turn in by tomorrow night at 11:59 p.m.

Although this class seems to be a steep, uphill climb for all of us, because of the numerous assignments at one time, we are all chipping away at the mountain ahead of us and refusing to slow our pace. Dr. Abernathy keeps our spirits up by talking about the special graduation reception planned for us. All the professors will be in attendance and are looking forward to congratulating their new flock of graduates on their accomplishments. It reminds me of the crowd of well-wishers at the Boston marathon as the runners find their last ounce of strength to push themselves across that finish line.

December 17th will be our special day to soar past that waving checkered flag into the arms of our adoring crowd of well wishers – as the music in my head will be wailing the theme song to “ROCKY” !
