Week 5

Week 5

By Monday, July 7, at midnight

  • Employment Project Step #2: Peer Editing Due! Choose two other student resumes and cover letters. Read them carefully and provide feedback in a 200 word comment below their blog post. Provide constructive feedback about strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements in formatting, content, and design. Consider the resume and cover letter together and the impression they create for an employer. For this project, you are graded for giving, not receiving, peer editing feedback, but please try to make sure that everyone receives at least one peer editing comment. Don't forget to tag the post under the Project 2 category in order for it to be considered turned it.

  • Project 1 revisions due! Please post your revisions to the revisions turn in blog along with a comment that describes specifically what changes you made to the project. Revisions posted after midnight will not be graded.
  • Meet online or email with your group to establish contact. Begin discussing the project timeline and how you will accomplish the steps.
  • Create a Google Docs Account for your group.
  • Don't forget to post a project log this week. Because not much work has been completed yet, your log can cover decisions made about how the group will divide up labor. This will be useful as a reference point later. Please post your project log in the Project Log category (untagged project logs will not be graded).
  • Check out Week 6. No later than today, you should read through the course calendar for the following week. Make sure that you understand all of the assignments. If you have any questions, contact the instructor.
