I know there are for sure 2 of us taking it this summer. Anyone else? Figured I'd start the thread so we can help each other out through the class.

He doesn't have any actual course content up, just the syllabus and stuff. I checked it out last night. Is Business comp show for you? That's Blackboard too, right? It shows I'm registered, but isn't listing it in my "classes" yet.

I believe the course content is up, actually several students already posted in DB introductions. It haven't even started and i feel like i am behind. I am determined to stay ahead this time around.

Huh, I wonder why mine is showing. It definitely shows I'm registered for the class, but doesn't show for me. I'll give it a couple days and check, I guess. Does it seem hard?

I hope it is easier than it seems because we have to post initial DB by Monday every week and make 3 responses plus other assignments. I am going to try and do all the grammar exercise this week, hoping to secure that 10% extra credit in case i will need it.

There are 58 of those exercies and some of the exercises are quite long! I started doing them but found I didn't need them.

I guess it just depends on what the postings are about. I know some can be so involved and take forever to find info, then others are quite easy. Hopefully it shows up soon for me, I'd like to get a head start this week.

I promise you it will not be as bad as it looks. I was in the same boat ten weeks ago. DB are a breeze, no citations needed. Sometimes I wrote a eight sentence paragraph as my initial post and it counted. Grading for the reading responses is super fast and not hard at all. I had made a citation mistake once and still got an "excellent post" review with a correction on the citation. Just make sure you have at least 750 words. I goes you could work ahead by doing all the reading responses but I couldn't do more than one in a week lol The projects are not too bad at all. To be honest I did not even do the last one because it turned into a crazy week and I had the 10% extra credit which was just as much as the project. I finished the class with a 98.3%. The biggest pain in the neck is reading this book during the first two weeks. While it is somewhat interesting, it is a help-yourself type book which isn't really my style.

The course was finally showing for me to see. It seems like a lot, but I would bet that since we are used to nursing courses, it may seem worse up front than it will turn out to be. We are used to some pretty hard grading for the APA formatting after all!
