Welcome to the your first week of our course. At this point, you should have already completed the Check-in assignment to guarantee your current enrollment in the course! If you have not completed the Two Truths and One Lie assignment, please go back to the previous module to complete it as it is a mandatory assignment to maintain your enrollment.

Please be sure to have your textbook as soon as you can so that you can begin the assignments. As a general rule for the course, all of your initial post for your discussion assignments will be due on Wednesday at 11:59PM and you'll have two responses by 11:59PM on Sunday. The only exception to this will be for the 8th week, as you will notice the change in the tentative schedule.

The first week is based on Chapter 1. For the quizzes in this course, you may take then as many times as you would like before the Sunday deadline. However, the system will save you latest score, so I recommend that you take all the quizzes on Monday when the module is released before you complete the reading. This method will help guide you through the reading. I also recommend reviewing all of your assignments before you complete the readings so that you know what you are looking for when you are actively reading the text.

To complete this learning unit, student must complete the following:

1. Read Chapter 1

2. Review all pages in the modules.

3. Post initial response to the first discussion board forum: Advertisers Appealing to Our Needs by Wednesday at 11:59PM. Two replies to peers must be posted by Sunday at 11:59PM.

4. Complete the Chapter 1 Journal Assignment and submit via Assignment Link by Sunday at 11:59PM. Please submit .doc, .docx, or .pdf files.

5. Complete the Chapter 1 Quiz by Sunday at 11:59PM. This quiz is graded, but it can be taken an unlimited amount of times before the deadline.
