Got group work? Effective leaders are effective group communicators - this week you get the chance to try out your skills and get to know a few more of your classmates. Beginning tomorrow, you will be working with your classmates to complete the Lesson 1 Assignment. The assignment directions share how to find your group and use the group features in Canvas. More detailed directions are found at https://www.smore.com/nhp78:
Got missing assignments? Previous modules remain open so you can reference them to help with current work. They also remain open so you can complete any missing work. Please review the NCVPS Late Work Policy in our syllabus. Work that is turned in up to a week late loses an automatic 10 points; work that is turned in up to 2 weeks after the due date loses an automatic 20 points; work turned in over 3 weeks loses 40 percent of the graded value. If you are completing work from over 3 weeks ago, be sure to contact me first so we can discuss a plan.
Got Resources? NCPVS provides lots of resources outside of our course to support you. For virtual help from a peer, go to the Peer Tutoring Center. For technology issues, issue a help desk ticket with the Virtual Support Center. To learn more about the world around you, attend a Culture Cafe session.

Module 5 is about effective group communication. As a leader, working well with others is non-negotiable. According to Beth Schaefer, recipient of the 2016 EDUCAUSE Community Leadership Award, "To become a leader, take note of the opportunities around you and reach out to others. When you purposefully work toward building relationships and creating communities, you'll become an effective leader—both for yourself and for others."
