Second Semester Begins
Tips and Reminders for AP Psych
A New Semester - A New Start...
The new grading period began on January 12th. For those of you who are pleased with your grade - Keep up the good work! For those who would like to improve your grade - please look over the following items (there are quite a few suggestions) - and let's go!
Things to do Every Day!
Check that Learning Block EVERY DAY!
Reading the reminder from Moodle is NOT the same, because the email does not contain all the information in the post:
- The Learning Block daily post includes hints, tips, and clues to help you learn better.
- Teachers also post upcoming due dates and events.
This is NOT just a suggestion - it is a course requirement!
Check those Due Dates!
- Log in EVERY day!
- Read your Learning Block EVERY Day!
- Check due dates EVERY Day!
- Late work can be submitted for partial credit - don't miss those extra points.
Read the book and take notes.
Complete ALL activities!
Follow the schedule your instructor provides - and avoid late submissions!
Ask for HELP!
Virtual Office Hours
Instructors have posted office hours. Many instructors hold office hours in Wimba and Blackboard IM, where they can provide specific help. Students should see the instructor during those times!
