Announcement on Day 2 of Class

Dear Class,
I promise my announcements won't be this constant as things settle down in the class. Here are a few updates:
1) I have heard from several of you that certain links don't work for you in the Introduction Lesson. I have notified Curriculum Development of this problem, and they will check all the links. Just do what you can in the meantime.
2) I dropped the two problematic quiz questions from the Syllabus quiz. You will take the quiz, and then see on the score review that two questions have been deleted. Also, you have the chance to take this syllabus quiz two times--make sure the second time is your best time, because that's the one the computer records. To retake it, click on the button to take the quiz again, found in the bottom right-hand corner of your quiz.
3) I have also appealed to Curriculum Development to get rid of "Mark this Activity Complete" for future lessons. I have used your reasoning to support this choice, and I think you have great reasons. I'll let you know when I hear back on the suggested change. For now, you will have to methodically work through the lesson to get to all the materials for the week. We'll keep our fingers crossed:).
4) Finally, keep in mind that there are two more Open House meetings left this week. One will be tomorrow evening (Wednesday) at 8 pm, MT. The last one will be on Friday evening at 6 pm, MT. Email me alternate times if my scheduled open house meetings cannot work for you.
I'm having so much fun getting to know you! Keep working hard--I promise the course material will be enriching and your writing assignments will be meaningful if you pray to grow from these experiences. I know this from personal experience! While I felt drawn to Pathway and wanted to teach it, I was worried that I wouldn't like being part of a basic English class. To my complete delight, this has been my favorite curriculum so far. I hope you love it too!
Sincerely,
Sister Bowen
