Hello Class!
This will be my final post to this blog. I hope that you have learned a bit over the course of the semester. My students never cease to amaze me. I think I learn just as much from my students, if not more, than my students learn from me. In short, I have had a great time with you this semester, and wish each of you a relaxing and happy Christmas break.
I want to thank each and every one of you for making this semester truly wonderful for me. Teaching 6 online classes was quite difficult, but y'all made it an incredibly enjoyable experience.
As of a few days ago, everything should be entered into BB. The final column in the gradebook adds up all of the points you have accrued in the class. Take a look at your total points then compare that number to the following scale to see the grade you earned in Comm 10.
A 900-1,000
B 800-899
C 700-799
D 600-699
F 599 and below
I will post grades to mysierra in a couple of days. The mysierra system will release grades at its own pace.
Again, I have had a great time with you all this semester, and hope that you have a wonderful holiday break!
Signing off for the last time.....

Final Exam Procedures
Hello Brilliant Students,
The final exam will open up at 12:01am tomorrow morning, and will remain open until 11:59pm on Saturday night. Please follow these instructions and reminders to take the final exam:
1). Download the Proctor Form from the "Getting Started" tab on Blackboard.
2). Find someone to proctor your final exam who is a). NOT a part of Comm 10 at Sierra College, and 2). Over the age of 21. You do not need to go to a testing center for the final exam, rather, you can ask a family member, friend, etc.....
3). Make sure the proctor watches you take the final exam to attest to the fact that you did not share questions or answers with anyone. In short - the proctor is there to make sure you don't offer assistance or get assistance from another person.
4). Log onto BB and locate the final exam under the "Quizzes and Tests" tab.
5). Take the test - This is an open book/open notes test.
6). Submit the test within the time limit allowed (see BB for more info.)
7). Submit the SIGNED proctor form to me through email. You can either scan it into the computer and send it to me, or you can take a HIGH QUALITY digital photo and email the picture to me. Be sure to email the proctor form to one of my email address - preferably the gmail address.
Email me with any questions you might have.

Week of December 3 - 9
Hello Folks!
Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from BB for this week. Please note that this is our last week of class, so make it count!!!
Due this week:
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*STUDY FOR FINAL EXAM - The final exam is scheduled on BB on Dec. 6th and 7th. To take the final exam you will access BB as you have been all semester, and take the final exam. There is one difference with this test - the final exam must be proctored. This means that you are required to have someone who is over 21, and not a part of Comm 10, watch you take the final exam and attest to the fact that you did not share answers or questions with anyone else in the class. I will post more about this the day before the final exam opens (Dec. 5th).
Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post is worth a maximum of 5 points.
1). (Regarding Chapter 13) - Which of the research methods listed on Table 13.3 seem the most interesting? Assume you want to study some aspect of deception. Frame a research question. Which method would you choose to answer the question? Why?
2). What concept/s in this class have you found most interesting? What was it about that concept/s that you found interesting?
3). Pick one concept in the book that you feel needs further discussion.
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://sierracomm10.blogspot.com/ to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words and is worth a maximum of 3 points.
Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case there I have questions about where they are located.
