Hi All,
PIA Mayflower-Emerson still doesn't begin until one minute after midnight tonight, but I've gathered quite a bit of info regarding the "New and Improved" $1000 course and thought I'd share...
The new course appears much more rigorous - the Discussion grade is now subdivided into two parts - 20% participation and 20% content.
Discussion Requirements -
One 250-400+ word paragraph per week in response to the Weekly Prompt (like a mini-annotation essay).
One 100-150+ word response to another post using new evidence, claims, etc. (like a micro-mini annotation essay).
(They provide a handout with in-depth samples.)
Here's the breakdown -
Assignments are weighted by group:

Yellowdig #2 (Non-credit)

It's interesting to note that the school week now officially begins and ends on Friday's at 7:59 PM as opposed to the 2018 Wed. - Wed. schedule. Personally, I preferred the Wed. due dates as the weekend occurred toward the end of the school week (when I, like most working adults, have more free time).
Do they sell gallon-sized jugs of Tums?

) OK…technically, this meant you now only had TWO days to complete your mini-essay and response. (I will, however, throw the TA some love - this week's due date was extended to Monday.)
