JOU 220: Critiques

For those of you who missed class, I recommend hooking up with someone + begging them to PUHLEEEZ critique your work as that’s part of the final story packet.

The rest of you: I’ll edit your drafts when you have a FULL draft with all the component parts to it :)

And thanks for putting up with Tin Cup.

EMB 265: Nothing To Turn In

Hey all:

Your finals for the first story are due on THURSDAY + the SOCIAL MEDIA stuff we’re doing in class. I think I may have screwed up the date on the syllabus (I don’t have mine in front of me)…rest assured, it is Thursday.

Hope that clarifies things.

Instructions for Social Media

The link to the social media instructions is right here.

EMB 265: We’ll be going over the social media stuff in class tomorrow and Thursday; JOU 220: this will be your assignment when I am out of class on Thursday.

We’ll go over everything in class, but you should make sure that you are working on this so you have relevant questions for me :)

Hey all:

We’re going to be discussing some things this week that only seem peripherally related to our classes. Here’s one of them:

JOU 220: Thursday Sked

Hey all:

Just a reminder that we will not have class on Thursday as I have to give a presentation in Cincinnati (which you are all welcome to see if you so choose. Please see the OUT & ABOUT section for details).

I will pass out a list of instructions for signing up for Social Media on Tuesday (’cause you still have an assignment to do), which you can try on Thursday. We’ll cover the homework the following week; however, I we need to press forward. I have the utmost confidence in your ability to try :)

Availability This Week…Not So Much

Hey all:

Normally I’m around throughout the week; however, I have a presentation and some writing that needs to get done so I won’t be on campus much.

  • I will not be on campus on Monday or Wednesday (my office hours will be online as stated)
  • I will be on campus on Tuesday (including my office hours).
  • I will be on campus until 11 am on Thursday. I will be leaving after EMB 265 (1045) to prepare for a presentation I’m giving at 6 pm that evening.
  • I will be on campus from 11-2 pm on Friday before heading out for the weekend to work on my book.
In other words, this week it’s best to use email or my cell if you need me.

The Last Lecture

Some of us have talked about David Foster Wallace in the last week. We’re going to continue with that theme a bit this week with Randy Pausch, who can teach you things that I can’t.

Don’t know him?

MIN 352: Last Minute Report Issues

Hey all:

Just a reminder that your presentations and reports are due tomorrow. Your reports should be COMPREHENSIVE, which means that every page should be represented (every page, not I have 10 pages that do the same thing…every page), your navigation should be set, your text should be set (is it 3 sentences, will it scroll, will it change), your images and logos should be represented…

In other words, you should know exactly what will be where, what it will look like and what it will say. If you don’t have that, you will be docked. This is a pre-plan, which means you have this completely planned out.

A pre-plan isn’t…well, I will kinda look like this.

I’ve said this in class (and on your logs and on the rubric), but I wanted to re-iterate.

Every page. Every asset. All represented. And all represented on the timeline.

That is all.

JOU 220: The Sked

Hey all:

Sorry that I blanked on the schedule tonight. I feel like I made things more complicated than they needed to be :(

If you have questions about what is due, please ask. ALSO: if you send me your stuff ahead of time, I’ll take a peak at it.
