Okay....

So, today (Thursday) did not goes as planned. Speeches will commence on Tuesday. If you were scheduled this past week, BE READY!!! We will continue with any necessary speeches after Thanksgiving Break.

Note: The fact that speeches are late will reduce the amount of class time that you will have to prepare in the week prior to presenting.Therefore, make sure that your group is preparing as we go!!!

1. This week you will need to turn in a status report on your group's progress.

A. Summarize overall project: thesis, bullet points
B. List group members and their contributions
C. List of sources
D. Outline presentation (how are you going to present this...)
E. What is left to do??

2. Speech papers should have an abstract as it is part of APA format, however, I will not hold it against you as we did not specify this in class. I will look kindly on those that submit one.

3. If you were scheduled to give your speech on the 9th, or the 11th be ready on Tuesday the 16th. If you were scheduled the 16th or 18th, be ready on Thursday, the 18th. We will know more about the pace on Tuesday, however, we should try to get through as many as possible.

Please email with any other concerns and thank you for your patience this week. You are all appreciated!!

Hey everyone. I have your essays graded, however, ipfw.edu went down before I could post them all. I will get them posted this evening if the site becomes available to me. Overall, I was quite impressed with the level of engagement and comprehension demonstrated.

I am not getting emails either. I will respond to any as soon as I can receive them.
