[Aaron Rudderham]

I’m back from playing video ga- I mean dealing with personal business, so lets get this underway! I’m really looking forward to the chill atmosphere and being able to possibly help out newer users, though I gotta poke around 2.8 a bit more myself haha.

@smurfmier1985 Thank you:)

@smurfmier1985
thanx now i know when it starts (maybe i can take a small peak during work xD )
i really look forward to it guys .
one more question. the homework when does it need to be finished will there be a certain date to finish or do we just have to see to send all homework before the end of the 4 weeks ?

[smurfmier1985]

@yukinoh1989 You have to send in your homework at the end of every week. So week 1 the primitives exercise, week 2 modeling an 3D object, etc. Above this thread you can see what you have to send in at which week. Kent will be grading our homework during / at the end of the week. At the end of class the grades will be transformed into XP points, which will be added to your total XP score 😊

@yukinoh1989 @smurfmier1985  Right, I believe that Sunday before midnight is the actual “deadline” for each week’s homework.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989  Yeah, what @smurfmier1985 said, though I just wanted to add that there are rare exceptions in case the homework was unexpectedly tasking in which you can complete it the following week, though I definitely wouldn’t rely on this. Good to keep in mind though.

Waiting to see if Kent can complete his mannequin challenge (and the class of course)

Class Announcement #3: New way to submit homework!

One of the Volunteer Assistants, @tonysharpe, suggested that homework submissions should exist as their own threads: One homework thread per class participant. Duh – of course that’s how it should be! That way I don’t lose track of homework and you don’t lose track of feedback.

So I want to implement this new approach. Instead of submitting your homework as replies to this thread, simply create your own thread with this title: BC1-1808 Homework, Your Name (or Username)

and this description (including hyperlink): My homework thread for the  August 2018 Class

Once created, each week before midnight reply to that thread as you would have in this main thread: “Week # Homework Submission” in bold at the top followed by a sentence or two about how your homework experience went / what you learned / any tips to share, and finally an image of your submission.

This will be a much better way to keep track of your homework and feedback! Also peer feedback is very encouraged within these individual threads 🙇🏻‍♂️

[Aaron Rudderham]

@theluthier  Sounds interesting, lets do it! Though just to confirm is it still acceptable for us to comment/leave feedback on other students’ work, providing it’s wanted?

[smurfmier1985]

@theluthier @tonysharpe Great idea! Let’s try it out. Also would like to know the answer to what @thecabbagedetective asked, ’cause I would love some feedback 😊

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective Absolutely! Peer feedback is very encouraged in these individual threads. I’ll update that announcement with that clarification.

[Jason Smith]
