ESP 351 - Pre Class Questions

1. What five things stand out to you as most important in the syllabus?
a. It is my job to be clear and ask questions about an assignment before and
while it is during the project, not after
b. I am able to change the due date for projects (except for portfolio) but
must do it before 48 hours before it is due
c. The portfolio is due October 27 at Noon
d. After coaching sessions or office hours, must send follow up email with
actionable steps I’m taking and what I took away from the meeting
e. Must show Friedman my progress via Email in order to get accurate
feedback on where I am at.
2. What four questions do you have for the professor?
a. If I have forgotten and need a refresher on certain ESP tools/concepts
from 252, how can I best understand those older tools? I can’t seem to
find my older notebook but will keep looking!
b. How can I successfully collaborate with MMG group virtually?
c. Since this class has overlaps with 252, if I struggled on a specific project,
how can I best prepare myself to succeed this time around?
d. Am I able to have the books on a electronic Ebook copy for now since we
are virtual for the first month?
3. What are the three things you think you will absolutely love in this class?
a. I love the freedom (and now that I have the tools/mindset) to play and
create freely without much judgement.
b. I will love the open communication and conversation style we have in this
class. I work best when I am able to collaborate and talk through things
since I am mostly Red brained based on my HBDI.
c. I will love the challenge to essentially “do-over” ESP 252 and really hone
in on those skills that I learned in that class. I was not as open or flexible
when I took that class a year ago, and have an improved mindset going
into this class that will help me be more creative and ready to fail and try
again.
4. What are your two biggest fears about this class?
a. My biggest fear about this class is that I will get caught up in trying to get
things right, instead of trying to learn and challenge myself
b. My other fear about this class is that I will become more disengaged than
if we were in person, but I will fight this as much as possible
5. What is your one commitment that you will make to this class?
 Emily Pure

a. I commit to give my full effort in this class. This means being very
conscious of due dates, and embracing the creative mindsets fully. I want
to change myself and I know that change can be uncomfortable but I will
be open and invite this change into my life.
