Here is a list of proficiency tests that are due:
JOU 220:
Every test on this page and the Word test on this page. You have until the end of the semester and there are only 2 grades: A or F. So turn them in early so you can correct what you missed. Then you'll apply that knowledge to your stories.
EMB 265:

Good luck and as always email or post questions.

We will meet this Wednesday, May 21 and Friday, May 23 will be a work day with scheduled assignments due.
Monday, May 26 is a holiday. There is no class. We will meet Wednesday, May 28.
Friday, May 30 would normally be our out of class work day. Since we are off on Monday, that is not promised. The only way we will meet outside of class is if EVERYONE in both classes finish all of the assigned work, participate in discussions and turns in the proficiency exams turned in.
If one person in either class does not, we will hold class that day. This is a game called the Prisoner's Dilemma. You are only responsible for yourself, but your actions will effect everyone else.
How will you respond?
If we have class, I will identify the people who failed to fulfill their end of the educational bargain. I encourage you to encourage each other.
Again:
- All homework must be turned in by Wednesday, May 28
- All proficiency exams must be turned in by Wednesday, May 28 (not passed, but turned in)
- All readings must be completed, which includes participating in class discussion
If someone skips class without notifying me, that will constitute a failed assignment/discussion -- and we will have class.
Questions? If so, please leave a comment here. Otherwise, you have your marching orders. I will answer questions; however, I will not negotiate on these points.

Here are your readings. Tips to think about when you're reading. I want the discussion not to be a regurgitation of what you've read, but questions, thoughts, ideas you disagree with, concepts that don't make sense and how you have applied what you're reading (or might apply it).
Make notes. Jot down thoughts.
Critical thinking and mastery learning only take place when you grab the data and wrestle with it. Don't afraid to be "wrong". Be afraid of being passive.

When I get questions, I like to post them here and answer them for all to see.
- will you be showing us how to layout a pitch when writing it or did we already learn that today, because i still a little fuzzy..
Yes, we can go over the pitches again. Essentially, though, if you just have the 3 top story elements (Idea, Backup, Nutgraf) and then Sources, you'll be finished up.
- along with the actually story writing layout itself
Yes, we will spend the entire rest of the term going over the story elements. What you need to know what the elements are -- and we'll be working our way through how all of those operate.
If you're confused, it's okay. You'll be confused for the first few weeks -- and if you trust me, it'll all be clear. But keep asking questions.
