ShannonMc says, "I need major help"
ShannonMc says, "I am almost finish with mine"
Mr.Cole says, "You should show what edition/translation is being used in the Works Cited list. I think the SMH or Sa give precise format."

JasonOg says, "well let me go read your's than shannon"
JenniferCa says, "i just need to type my conclusion"
ShannonMc says, "I have one more point to touch, then my conclusion"
FrankBl says, "same here Jenny"
JasonOg says, "same here"
JasonOg says, "I'm in the same situation as Shannon"
FrankBl says, "Jason you always have conclusions"
JenniferCa says, "we must be getting rushed"
ShannonMc says, "we are"
JasonOg says, "Why don't we all pull up a second netscape so that we can read the essays"
JenniferCa says, "Mr Cole is rushing and stressing our poor heads"
ShannonMc says, "I don't have netscape"
JasonOg says, "Mr.Cole is in the room people"
JenniferCa says, "i cant do it either jason"
Mr.Cole says, "If you are going to leave anything out of a draft, it might as well be the conclusion."
ShannonMc says, "I didn't say anything bad"
FrankBl says, "I can't do that"
JasonOg says, "you alll learned from me"
JenniferCa says, "but my computer wont do it jason"
JasonOg says, "I don't know what to do about that"
ShannonMc says, "I can't pull up the essay"
JasonOg says, "ask Mr. Cole"
JasonOg says, "i only know how to work netscaped"
Mr.Cole says, "So, Shannon says in her intro: "At an institute of higher education such as a university or college, a student can grow personally as well as academically, which is a major part of the knowledge we learn. That is what college sho
uld stand for. It takes commitment from the administration and educators to give students the teaching to surpass all the stereotypes of our generation. College builds read women and men, and should promote anything except failure." How do y'all like that
?"
JasonOg says, "netscape"
JenniferCa says, "weve already been through all that too"
Mr.Cole says, "The multiple window thing will only work if you have Win95, unfortunately."
JasonOg says, "this is a different intro"
FrankBl says, "I have windows 95 and I do not know how to do it"
ShannonMc says, "I said I have a whole different essay!"
Mr.Cole says, "But as you just saw, those of us with Win95 can paste things into the MOO disc. to help those who don't."
JasonOg says, "I don't understand the thesis"
JasonOg says, "don't yell at me shannon"
Mr.Cole says, "That's not your thesis, Shannon?"
ShannonMc says, "i am not jason"
ShannonMc says, "what do you mean?"
FrankBl says, "I am confused also"
FrankBl says, "thanks"
Mr.Cole says, "What I just quoted. Is that from your paper, Shannon?"
ShannonMc says, "yes"
JasonOg says, "I see a possible thesis, but I don't understand it"
Mr.Cole says, "What's unclear, Jason?"
JasonOg says, "the first part of the last sentence"
FrankBl says, "it does not make any sense to me either"
FrankBl says, "it reads funny"
Mr.Cole says, "'College builds read women and men'? That looks like a typo. 'real' maybe?"
ShannonMc says, "yes sir, real"
ShannonMc says, "I was kinda rushed"
ShannonMc says, "didn't catch it"
Mr.Cole says, "It's OK, that's why we do drafts. So, with the typo cleared up, does it make more sense?"
JasonOg says, "if the essay is about universities promoting success, the thesis seems to be a good one "
Mr.Cole says, "Does it tell us how success is promoted?"
JasonOg says, "it could maybe be a little more specific"
ShannonMc says, "yes, I talk about personal growth that college allows to attain"
ShannonMc says, "and how it makes us successful "
ShannonMc says, "what could be a little more specific"
JasonOg says, "your thesis"
ShannonMc says, "how much more specific can I get?"
JasonOg says, "don't get fiesty"
ShannonMc says, "I am not!"
Mr.Cole says, "I do see personal growth mentioned in the first sentence I quoted. Also commitment from administrators and students."
ShannonMc says, "I am going to touch that point. I am not done yet :("
Mr.Cole grumbles.
ShannonMc says, "I am sorry"
Mr.Cole says, "Try not to fight. This is supposed to be for everyone's good."
JasonOg is just trying to help
ShannonMc says, "I can't get mad at people who are trying to help me"
ShannonMc loves Jason
ShannonMc says, "I am not mad Jason"
ShannonMc says, ":)"
JasonOg says, "i get the point"
ShannonMc says, "I am just trying to understand how you say it needs to be more specific"
JasonOg says, "I need to read it again Mr. Cole"
JasonOg says, "can you put it back"
Mr.Cole says, "So, let's glance at the body paragraphs. I don't think I can quote them all. But here is the 2nd body para.: "College also teaches people responsibility in many ways. A student must learn to budget their money. Time management is
a"
Mr.Cole says, "Oops."
ShannonMc says, "It was hard for me too write that paragraph"
Mr.Cole says, "College also teaches people responsibility in many ways. A student must learn to budget their money. Time management is a"
ShannonMc says, "oops, I mean to write that paragraph"
JasonOg says, "Frank and Jenny, ya'll haven't said anything lately"
JasonOg says, "Jerry, you there too"
Mr.Cole says, "This isn't working so well. One last try: "College also teaches people responsibility in many ways. A student must learn to budget their money. Time management is a hard concept for some people to learn. Between classes, homework
, and eating, it is very hard to find time to sleep. Willpower is difficult for a student to understand. Students have to makes themselves get up in the morning, make themselves go to class, and make themselves study. The combination of budgeting money, t
ime management, and willpower in college prepares students for the pressure they will encounter in the working world.""
JenniferCa says, "i have no input at the moment"
Mr.Cole says, "Unified? Developed?"
FrankBl says, "Shannon you might want to try to divide these ideas up into two paragraph "
ShannonMc says, "It was hard for me to unify it"
Mr.Cole says, "Which two ideas, Frank?"
JenniferCa says, "sorry i really have to go right now"
ShannonMc says, "how can I?"
JenniferCa has disconnected.
FrankBl says, "they seem to be two thoughts just combined money budgetingand time managment "
JasonOg says, "add some examples on money budgeting Shannon"
ShannonMc says, "I don't understand"
FrankBl says, "money is just kind of combined in at the end"
ShannonMc says, "Oh,I get it"
Mr.Cole says, "OK, Frank. These definitely _could_ be treated separately (though they also both fit under the general heading of responsibility, it depends on how S. wants to handle it)."
Mr.Cole says, "Uggh. Time is up. I have to go dismiss the others."
FrankBl says, "I agree"
Mr.Cole goes out.
ShannonMc says, "do you think that adding examples of budgeting would help"
FrankBl says, "see ya'll"
JasonOg says, "yes, Mr.Cole really liked examples in my last essay"
[Mr.Cole's Classroom] Mr.Cole says, "Time's up folks. You can split. See you here tomorrow."
ShannonMc has disconnected.
[Mr.Cole's Classroom] Mr.Cole says, "Those who didn't post drafts, do so tonight"
JasonOg has disconnected.
FrankBl has disconnected.
GeraldLa goes out.
