C.  Hello, and welcome to Political Science 10. I am Robert Murphy, and if you are getting this e-mail, you are signed up for the course. We will be using Blackboard this quarter, so if you have problems accessing the course, please e-mail me. In fact, you can e-mail me anytime concerning anything in this class. I will try to answer in one or two business days. Or, you can call me at (951) 555-5555 , leave a message , and I will get back to you.

D: I am asking you to take a short survey on your technological experience. The link is here:

These surveys are optional, but I encourage you to answer them.

I hope you enjoy this class!

E. My understanding  is that some us will get together, probably online, to deliver the lessson. I don't mind who they are; I hate to just pick three people.

F. Probably in the last week of instruction, or finals week.

 

I have not made changes to my class with these updates, but I will try soon. I will also divide my two required responses as one response to my topic, and the second one to another student who has commented.

I am so pressed for time this quarter that it is frustrating for me. There are so many things I would like to do with this class. I especially appreciate the feedback everyone has given me. I'm still trying to figure out how to get to know the students without a blog. I haven't included one because frankly, I don't think I would know how to manage one. I'll have to investigate Blackboard more to see if I can do blog-type info there. I only learned surveymonkey last night, and one problem I am having is that in the multiple choice, I can't make it so you can only check one box. If anyone has the answer, I'd be happy to find out.

Best,

Bob

Bob, I'll be a student for you. Sooner is better than later for me because of my end-of-quarter responsibilities and preparing for the next quarter, but if that's when it has to be, I'll manage it. Just e-mail me with the information and materials I need so I can "learn" from you. Good luck.

Thanks, Donna, but I can't do it right now in the form it's in, if I can ever do it. I'm in touch with Dr. Leh and we will be discussing options. B.
