Work for the Week of December 1

• Read the Project 5: Course Completion Report assignment (the final exam), and begin gathering data on your work in the course by rereading your posts in the Discussions and your projects to identify your best work.

• Analyze the self-assessment documents you have read for today for Powerful Word Choice. Go to Discussions in Canvas and post two replies to the "Comparing Self-Assessment Examples" Discussion, following the instructions in Canvas by 11:59 PM on Monday, 12/7 (two-day grace period ends at 11:59PM on 12/9).

• Please fill out the Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPOT) survey for this course. I do not see the feedback until late December (after grades are submitted), and your comments are anonymous. The feedback helps the department make important decisions about teaching methods, course content, and faculty promotion. Written comments help me decide what to keep or change the next time I teach the course.
