Hey Michael - that's great news!

Shawn,

Congratulations. I know getting those experiences listed on the CV/Resume really help.

Thanks, cdhale. Yes, and I need all the help I can get, at my rather advanced age. :)

Congratulations!

Hi there,
Are you going through the Teacher Orientation/training right now? If so, I am too! I just attended the live meeting about it and will be going through the the 2 classes the next 4 weeks. Really would love to hear from those who have been through it before.

Hi Holly,

Just saw your post. I went through the training back in the Fall.

Good luck!

I must say I am shocked at some of the papers I've gotten. I don't see how some of these people ever got out of high school, and yet here they are in college!

Someone I spoke to about this said maybe it's because for-profits will take anyone with a pulse.

It isn't just for profits. Many community colleges have open enrollment. If you can show up for class, and either pay or qualify for financial aid, then you can attend.

I'm curious about how you can correct papers online. How does that work? Does their software allow you to make marks on their papers,etc.?

They submit papers in MS Word format (this is one variation). YOu open it, and leave comments, either with the comment function or track changes. Then send it back to them.

If your school uses something like turnitin.com, then there are options for grading within turnitin.

Not a big deal, really.

cdhale basically answered this.

I had to learn the technology, but after I did, it's not difficult. It is more time-consuming, though, than the old-fashioned way, imo.
