Class,

Next week (Dec 4–8, which is WEEK 15) we will not have in-person class. We will have one Required Zoom Session (on Tuesday) and one Drop-In Zoom Session (on Thursday).

You must attend our Zoom Session on Tuesday Dec 5 from 10:30AM–11:30AM. I will send you the links to join the Zoom in a separate post soon.

Before Tuesday Dec 5, you MUST READ the UNIT 4 Final Reflection Capstone Assignment. You must also watch this video of me describing the Final Portfolio (I made it last year, but it will work for you as well).

I strongly urge you to start writing your Final Reflection now, over the week-end. We will write together on Tuesday; I will also be available to answer questions on Thursday.

Hi Students,

Here is a message from Professor Franklin, the head of the The Writing Center. This event sounds nice and I want to pass it along:

Our team in the Writing Center are thrilled to announce: “Presentation and Papers Pop-Up”, a two-day tutoring event on Tuesday (11/28) and Wednesday (11/29) from 12-2pm on the Library Building Ground Floor. This event is designed to support students working on any written assignment and will also cater to students seeking to refine the content of a speech or presentation.

To receive a 15-minute tutoring session, students are invited to walk-up or reserve a spot using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/mGB1cLPfc9

FINAL SPEECHPRESENTATION TUTORING

Hi class,

I tried to generate an image of “LeBron playing basketball with Jesus in the style of the Mona Lisa” just like you wanted, but it blocked my prompt yet again, saying that such content was unacceptable. I wanted you to know that I didn’t forget.

(Btw: If you didn’t already know, you can create AI images, not only with Dall-E in Chat GPT, but with via other places, for instance, Microsoft’s Bing: Image Creator from Microsoft Designer (bing.com) )

Today, I went on to create with the AI from two more prompts. Here is what the AI gave me for “students in a college english class having a lucid dream about passing the semester successfully and beautifully with unicorns and birthday cakes in the style of anime”:

and here is what the AI gave me for “students in a college english class sitting in a circle talking about what they did that morning with early morning light and vivid and pleasing colors”:

and, btw, I did create citations for both in proper MLA Style. I had some questions on how to do it, so I asked a Librarian Online for help. He helped me in 24-hour chat, just as fast as a bot.

So, we talked about a lot this last week — difficult stuff — and no, we didn’t look like any of the above pictures, but I just want to say before Thanksgiving break how grateful I am to have you as my students. I really enjoy our class; I really enjoy you guys. And hey, I just used a semicolon.
