Gorgeous, Beautiful Pics!

I'll miss you guys!  Take care, keep in touch, and remember the keys to public speaking: be prepared, know your stuff, practice, and be yourself.  :)

Survey!

COMM 131rs,

I like to administer end-of-quarter surveys to every course I teach.  It serves two major purposes: (2) it's a way for you to reflect on your learning throughout quarter and, thus, get started on your portfolios and (2) by finding out what worked for you, didn't, and why, it's a chance for me to improve my teaching.  Additionally, I've found that sharing your/our survey data on the last class provides the opportunity to bring nice "closure" to the course.

Your responses are anonymous!  Click here for the survey.

Thanks!

Podcasting

Here are some helpful resources that can help you work through your portfolio project -- specifically, how to make a podcast!  As far as submission requirements go: as long as I can watch/listen to it, you're good to go!  If you can turn your portfolio speech/video into a file so that I can download it, even better.  I'd like you to post/link your work to your blog, but if you're not comfortable doing that, feel free to email me.  :)

Click here for an excellent article on podcasting.  If you wanna cut to the meat'n'potatoes, go to Chapter 4 for the logistical "how to.'

Podcasting with Audacity (a free program) that can be used on Macs and PCs:

I use Garageband for a DJ podcast that I do every once in a while called The People's Radio Show.  Here's my Christmas episode.  (Warning: it's a little weird.)
