Brandon wrote two responses to the first post of the week, but continues to get bogged down with the justice/social justice prompt. We've talked about it a great deal, but for some reason that hasn't translated into writing the post. He seems to obsessing about finding the perfect answer.
Brandon finished his first discussion post about trust and deception in business. I thought he crafted a really good response. We then spent a good portion of the day reading about and discussing "social justice" vs. "plain, old justice". Brandon struggled with the response and did not get it finished by the end of the day. We'll continue on it tomorrow.
After finally discovering this week's topic for English, Brandon and I developed and revised a paper on the use of logos, ethos, and pathos for use in College English. Brandon's teacher has been pretty late in posting the week's assignments, but Brandon and I have made the best of the situation by spending more time together during the scheduled break between Kevin and myself.
Brandon and I continued reading the Chapter 2 case studies in his Business Ethics text, which offered some keen insight on certain situations in the workplace. Afterwards, Brandon and I developed an outline for addressing the Week 1 discussion topic. Good session. Very productive.
After outlining our week's tasks, Brandon and I began reading Chapters 1 and 2 of his Business Ethics text. After going over the particular assignments that we needed to complete based on the readings, Brandon decided to spend more time on different parts of the chapter. While reading composed of most of today's tasks, we completed it and are in good shape for this week.
Brandon is in good shape for his discussion posts this week. He still has one more to do, but his classmates have not posted yet for him to respond. He'll have to do that one on his own.
Brandon started out working on his english class in the first session, but then switched to business ethics for the second. This class is going to require a lot more effort from Brandon in terms of writing the posts, and reading the material. We talked about what he should expect to do each week and then he wrote one of the posts for this week.
Brandon took his last test for intercultural communication today. He spent 20 minutes reviewing for the test and then took it. He scored 32/35 (the three he missed were awkward questions.)
Brandon completed the lecture materials section of his course, reading Sojourner Truth's essay "Ain't I a Woman," and the other evidence related materials.
