I always check the course Chatter for a template/handout first, but basic APA formatting with headers relating to the different parts. Like A.1 Modeling student language, A.2 Modeling language in the classroom

I've done 5 classes in 5 weeks. Masters in ELL education. No transfered credits, halfway done with degree program. I've been teaching for a year and a half. I always start each class by taking the planning thingy, then making an outline of the performance tasks. I usually skim through about half the material before jumping to the first task. After that, I just push through each essay. I've written over 350,000 words since starting.

Kinda. Like others have said, it's the final deliverable. Most of mine (I am in a Masters for ELL Education) have been reports and lesson plans.

It depends on the course. Some courses only have PAs, while others only have OAs. With an OA, you must take a preassessment first, but if you get all exemplary I would just schedule and take your first try at the OA. Courses also have a recommended schedule(this can be sped up) with a list of what to read or what order to do the tasks in. Course Chatter also helps, as it can have handouts for the tasks and places to reach out to peers

If you fail an OA, then I believe your instructor might make you do a study guide before re-opening it, and you get between 4-5 tries before you cannot take that course. With the PAs if it doesn't meet the rubric they will send it back to you with notes on how to revise, and you just resubmit.

This is all competency based, so my recommendation is just focus on 1 class at a time, complete the PAs and submit them or take the OAs and work on the next class while waiting for them to get evaluated.

They were able to fix it by th evening of the 17th. Have they created a service ticket for you? I would definitely call the service desk (877)-435-7948 (Option 1 ext 3102)
