Answer 6

Ari, can I get back to you tomorrow sometime on it? I can't be up much later (and it's already sorta kinda late where you are).

But I'll take a look. If you can make some updates or fill in anything else, just post it as an update and I'll catch that too.

Answer 7

oh ok :/

Answer 8

oh, and my teacher loved that journal thing!

Answer 9

Heh... pirates, ahoy!

Answer 11

I have plans to sleep, early day tomorrow. no apologies needed :)

Answer 12

More work, less OpenStudy... that's your assignment for Saturday ;)

Catch you tomorrow sometime...

Answer 13

Answer 14

and thanks!

Answer 15

and please! lol. i sound so rude

Answer 16

you mah bestie <3

Answer 17

you need rest.. ;) Leave the question open and I'll keep looking at it...

Answer 18

mmk :)

Answer 19

he said it could be similar, just not the same. i think my essay's better...but that's just my opinion :)

Answer 20

who is "he", your teacher?

Answer 21

yea, he posted this on his site. well, it was actually a powerpoint. i wouldn't have known about it, but i googled the question for some ideas and this came up

Answer 22

heh... I googled "McLuhan diffusion" for background and this question came up...

Answer 23

what do you think about the need for 2 examples for each section? Your prompt seems pretty clear on that, but his sample only includes the Coke example for global village and doesn't give an example of contagious diffusion.

Answer 24

exactly, that's why i thought i did pretty good on it

Answer 25

but if he only had one...i can have only one too, right?

Answer 26

I wouldn't make that leap of faith... to easy for him to say "that was just an example, not permission to deviate from the prompt". Plus it's your grade... his example doesn't have to play by his rules :)

Answer 27

:/ ok

Answer 28

Let me take another quick look at your essay...

Answer 29

could i say that?

Answer 30

oh, you were considering those aspects as separate examples... I see.

Answer 31

(didn't know you were drawing... thought you must be typing a novel or something)

Answer 32

lol sorry

Answer 33

i thought it would better if i drew that so you could understand better

Answer 34

Do you have a sense of the appropriate length of this assignment? Is it another thing with a few paragraphs and 6 sentences or so each?

Answer 35

i think it has to be 3 paragraphs...i'm not sure though. the teacher's was 3 paragraphs...

Answer 36

it doesn't say exactly. it just says "Write a response to the question that fully answers each part of the prompt." so, in actuality, it could be one paragraph as long as it answers the whole prompt lol

Answer 37

Hard to know if less is better. I would tend to think you shouldn't cut this too short... of course, I don't know what the teacher expects beyond what you just said.

Answer 38

do you want me to post the grading rubric?

Answer 39

yeah, with that rubric, one paragraph isn't a good idea.

Answer 40

lol i was joking with the one paragraph

Answer 41

Glad to hear it... you were starting to worry me :)
