Hi Fellow Scholars!
I am taking Human Communication on Straighterline. This has been a confusing platform for me. I have bought a used textbook and am reading it and trying to take quizzes as I go but have not been able to log onto the quiz platform. Anybody have any advice on how to make this course go a little smoother? I took an exam but have not submitted my intro video yet.
Hello Tara,
I took Intro to Comm through SL last year. It's not too difficult, though some parts require you to research a topic. If you don't already have a YouTube account you should create one as you have to make 3 separate videos and upload them. One is the self-introduction, the other is a topic of interest and I forget what the last one is. These videos are uploaded to Youtube. YouTube then creates a link that you then copy and paste onto the assignment sheet that you submit through "Turnitin".
The live chat support is very helpful too. Good Luck.
I just finished the class. The videos were a bit outside of my comfort zone but that's okay. My frustration was that there was zero feedback on my videos. I don't know where I could have/should have improved, etc. Overall my grade is fine but for a "communication" class which teaches about feedback, it would have been nice to have some.
