Submitting Project 2 (3/21)

 • Comments Off on Submitting Project 2 (3/21)

Because I will be at a convention in Indianapolis, class is working online Wednesday, 3/19, and Friday, 3/21. Office hours are canceled for this week.

March 21 is the due date for Project 2. For today’s session, you’ll write your reflection memo and (if you’re ready) submit your project. We will not talk about Project 2 in class after Friday 3/21; however, you have a one-week grace period if you need it. The very last moment when you can submit Project 2 is Friday, March 28 at 11:55 PM.

  2. Choose “P2: Technical Description, Definition, and Instructions.”

  9. Add the link to your document on the Help for Hokies site to your memo.

  11. Agree to the Honor Code by clicking the checkbox at the bottom of the page in Scholar.
  12. Submit your Project, and save a copy of the confirmation and submission ID.

Homework

We will begin takling about Project 3: Job-Application Materials during the next class session. This assignment will rely on Markel, Chapter 10, “Writing Job-Application Materials” and the Virginia Tech Career Planning Guide (available online or in print from Career Services). Go ahead and begin reading these materials.

Getting Help

I will be in sessions and presenting on Friday, March 21, so I may not see any questions you have about this activity until late in the evening. The process for submitting your work is the same as we used for Project 1, so you should be able to complete the task without any trouble. Email me if you have a question however, and I will respond when I can.
