Ms. C's CWE Blog Post

 Hello everyone,  I just want to let you all know that our exam will not be just multiple choice but rather short response answers. They’re much easier than what I had originally planned. Your exam is 90mins only. I feel that some, if not, most of you might finish much quicker than that and may not need the whole 90mins.  I will certainly put a timer, once the timer is done, I will have all of you send me back your exams at once and I will mark it.  This will be the process of our exam date:  I will allow 15 minutes for everyone to join right on time.  I will give instructions and give you the rules, then you can all start at the same time with 90mins to complete. The entire exam everyone will be quiet. Absolutely no talking. If you have any questions, please send me a message privately I will respond in the chat. If you by chance finish earlier, you may leave as soon as you are done as long as I have received your exam via email and I can confirm with you ...

 Hello everyone,  Your final exam will be at 5:00pm which is about 2 1/2-3h long.  Everyone will be taking it at the same time. Please let everyone in the cohort know that attendance is required.

 Hello everyone,  I hope you all had a great weekend. Just wanted to announce a few things: I'm still marking your assignments. I paused during the weekend as I thought I'd do the other half once I receive everyone's as I realized I didn't get everyone's.  I will be sending it back to you guys slowly. I have 106 assignments  to mark so please bare with me.  Lastly, please keep in mind of the use of proper punctuation, upper/lower case and period. This is not an English class but I will emphasize the importance of it, as it is an essential skill you will need to have in whatever field you decide to work on. Thank you!  See you all later.
