- Which discussion was the last you completed?
I have recently submitted my article title and it got approved.
My weekly progress
- coursework part 1 completed
- coursework part 2 completed
- Coursework Part II: Participation Report Form : submitted
- Coursework Completion Quiz : submitted
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around?
- My first submitted article title was not approved as it was too long and had too many words. A mentor reached out to me and suggested tweaking the title and gave me tips to optimize. After doing it the article title was approved and now I am working on the article.
- I have chosen to post a minimum of 5 content as part of my elective. I have not managed to get the required engagement just yet but I will try new ways in upcoming posts.
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others.
All the discussions included in the courses with detailed instructions are so helpful to follow through. I had a lot of opportunities to try creative writing with guidelines.

- Which discussion was the last you completed? I have made it through coursework 2, waiting for the email of my article submission so I can start writing, I still have the coursework 2 quiz to complete. Which should be done by the end of this week.
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? I have not had any struggles as of yet lol
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. For others' that are doing these courses I recommend Google Docs to keep track of all of your course steps, answers, and feedback to other students. It makes it a whole lot easier than to try and remember them. Best of luck to everyone!

- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? Nothing at this time.
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. I will give the tip of please remember if you are doing graphics to make sure the fonts are appealing to the audience, the colors stand out, and the graphic items pop. Also, try not to be so wordy.

- Which discussion was the last you completed? Right now, I have picked the 5 categories for the graphics. I have made 2 graphics out of the 5. Still editing my article, and will be submitting it soon. Then going to be brainstorming about the 5 forum posts.
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? The only struggle that I reached for was the social media meaning, because I wanted more context to make sure I understood correctly.
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. The biggest tip I can make is when you are writing, yes be informative but do not cut out the empathy or compassion. I have noticed that a lot in some of the exercises minor compassion and empathy were missing, but loads of information. Other than that keep up the good work everyone, you are all doing fantastic!
I got my topic submitted! It needed to be resubmitted so im waiting for that and i just finished all the course work, quizzes come tomorrow

- Which discussion was the last you completed? I have reached out regarding my preferred article title, submitted my 5 graphics for the sections of my choosing and still editing my article
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? The only thing that took me a moment to understand was the 5 graphics, but I got it fixed up and they are sent out.
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. Please remember to proof read edits and mock answers, it makes it more engaging when there is no spelling errors. Please be cautious of that and be thorough.

- Which discussion was the last you completed? I just emailed my article finally
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? it took me a moment to be okay with another title
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. Just a friendly tip to others use 5-7 words for the title, make sure it has a power word or two to boost the SEO score, you want at least minimum of 60
@ouiCherie
- Which discussion was the last you completed? This week i fully concentrated on the internship. For the CMD i set up my new journal with an overview of the requirements and deadlines. So for now i am fully prepared to start. At least doing the weekly report 🤭 (might start later on today with the discussion)
- What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? to be honest the courage to start and finding the balance with the internship.
- What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. Setting up my journal with the overview helped me a lot to give me a better sense and orientation of how to approach this program. Would recommend for a better structure, so you know what to do when.
