Catch-up Week starts today and continues through Monday.  A few things to keep in mind...

• You should still work daily - see below for tips on what to do.
• All previous modules plus a few upcoming modules are open.
• NCVPS Late Work Policy does not apply to any work missed due to the Hurricane.

Welcome to Catch-Up Week!  Use your time this week to do the following:

• Complete any missing assignments.
• Redo any assignments for which you did not receive full credit.  Remember to send me an inbox message or a text if you add replies to classmates to any discussion board. 
• Review the content from Modules 1-8.  Look at your guided notes or take a few minutes to run through the notes (which all work at this time!). You can also look back at Monday announcements where I post content reviews before you take your post-assessments.
• Work ahead on Module 9 which is already open.  You will still have a normal week to work on this module in addition to this week.  Let me know if you have questions about the assignments.  *Note:  Since some students are finishing the course before the NCVPS end date, you will see more modules open.  If you have questions about work from those modules, please ask:)

Next steps?  Make a plan and then work that plan. Choose the thing you need to work on most -- missing work, redoing work, reviewing content, or working ahead.  Then make a list of everything you hope to accomplish this week. Divide the list into manageable pieces and set up a schedule.  Here is a recommended schedule for dividing the modules in order to make-up, redo and/or review Modules 1-8:

• Tuesday - Modules 1-2
• Wednesday - Modules 3-4
• Thursday - Modules 5-6
• Friday - Modules 7-8
• Monday - Start Module 9
