Did you ever notice how July begins with Jew?

The secret to succeeding in any online class while maintaining a social life/sanity is to do the absolute bare minimum.  Every class requires participation in weekly conferences, usually due on Sunday night.  Often, teachers will require participation in the middle of the week to ensure a "lively" discussion takes place.

My current Econ teacher, however, does not. So obviously, I do all of my work on Sunday nights.  Every week, my grade on the conference has been accompanied by statement "urging" me to participate more frequently, which I have ignored because there is no consequence for posting only 1 day a week.

And, every week, my professor, Sol, has grown increasingly militant:




Week 1 - "Making a barrage of posts in a few hours of Sunday does satisfy requirements but does not really allow for student interaction. You and your classmates would benefit if comments were made earlier in the week. This would provide for actual discussion which is the purpose of the activity."

Week 2 - "I would like you to be in more than 1 day a week."

Week 3 - "Making a barrage of posts in a few hours of Sunday does not really allow for student interaction in the conference."

Week 4 - "YOU MUST SHOW UP EARLIER IN THE WEEK TO GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE DISCUSSIONS."

Week 5 - "I WANT YOU TO PARTICIPATE MORE THAN 1 DAY A WEEK. IF YOU SHOW UP ONLY ON SUNDAY IN THE FUTURE A DEDUCTION WILL BE MADE IN THE CONFERENCE GRADE."





RUDE. But all my posts for this week are DONE, and it's Tuesday, so... YOU'RE WELCOME, SOL.
