sammixboo · Answer

When a collaboration comes up, I just go to the live lesson. Much more easier

sammixboo · Answer

You don't have to sit and wait for other classmates to accept your collaboration requests. You can just attend the live lesson and you are good to go.

domebotnos · Answer

that's what i have always done.

I've only ever had live lessons for English ._.

mehek14 · Answer

In collaboration, just go to live lessons and choose which lesson you want to do. It will tell you what time and day you can do it. It's basically a group of students who attend live lessons and you'tr instructor tells you basics of the lesson and then you work together to solve problems. At the end, the instructor sends you the collab sheet and pdf file. you complete the sheet and send the sheet and pdf file to get credit.

Hi, 

There are two choices for online collaborations. Every segment you are required to do AT LEAST one collaborative assessment. However, in addition to the collaborative, you have

i. An Independent Option 

Now, with the collaborative, you can do it with a student, your teacher, a friend or a parent. However, if you do not have anyone to collaborate with, you may choose the Independent option. 

You will be asked, in one assignment, to tell your teacher what option you've chosen for the end-of-module Collaborative Assignment. Let her know you either want to do the Independent or Collaborative. 

Thank you
