Now that everyone has a thread I can start assigning homework. You're all thrilled I'm sure. As stated previously homework will primarily be recruiting and will count for a major part of your grade. When recruiting as part of this course, in addition to posting your efforts in your thread, you will also post them here. If the assignment is completed over the course of several sessions please wait and post everything together in here. That'll make is easier on me. You are not discouraged from exceeding the parameters of the assignments, but extra credit is not a guarantee.
Assignment #1 Send out fifty recruitment telegrams. You have from now, August 15th, till the next lecture on August 20th to complete the assignment. Since we have yet to really cover recruitment letters, please select one of the samples to use. Don't forget to replace the X's with your name.
No one has completed the assignment. Therefore I have no choice but to fail you all. I trust that all of you will do better on these next assignments.
Assignment #2 You are to create a recruitment letter of your own. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and presentation count. You have a pretty free reign with this. Use your imagination.
Assignment #3 You are to send out 70 recruitment telegrams between August 20th and the next lecture on August 27th. You may use your newly created recruitment telegram or any of the sample telegrams. Your choice. This will be true of all future recruiting assignments.
This is very depressing class. Technically assignments were supposed to be in today. As it happens I was a lot busier today than I thought I'd be so you lucked out. I'll be posting the new lesson within the next few days. Tomorrow most likely, Wednesday at the latest. So you have until then to get it done.
Post your letters and recruitment work in here. I really don't want to have to fail anyone again.

Hey,*Nation's Name Here*
*Comment on soemthing nice about the nation* Welcome to Nation States or NS as some call it. Allow me to be your help and guide while you get settled in here. If you have any questions just go ahead and Telegram or (heres more vocab) TM me. Or you could always drop by my home region of 10000 Islands. I know you will like it there.
In The 10000 Islands we have an AMAZING Forum where you can drop whatever is sitting on your mind. Also we have the AoN or Assembly of Nations where all voices are heard. Next we have Taco Island One of the BEST places ever. In the 10000 our currency is ther Taco =). Also you can always count on the nice people who live there to help you out. 1000 Islands is one of the most prestigious regions in all of Nation States. We will soon be on our 5th year! We are most known for TITO or Ten-Thousand Island Treaty Orginazation.
I hope to see you and all of the *Nations citizens Names* in the 10000 Islands soon. Sincerely, -People Saying Ni-
Thank you Ni. I'll have your grade on the recruitment letter to you soon. Thanks for putting forth the effort. In the future if you could post all the names at once when your done (or as close to it as you can get before the deadline) The fewer posts I have to go through the better.
The new new deadline for the assignments is Friday at 11:59pm eastern time. Everyone has until then to write your letter and get your recruiting done.

The deadline is passed. Everyone fails both assignments except for Ni. I will give you some credit for the recruiting work so it won't be a zero. However I gave everyone more than enough time to get everything done. I originally gave you seven days to get the recruiting done, that's only 10 telegrams a day, even less than that with all the extra time you guys got. These haven't been hard assignments people. All it is is work and it hasn't been that much so far, but the assignments will get progressively longer as the class goes on. If you don't start figuring out how to work it in and actually do the work you won't pass this class. You guys aren't putting forth the effort I'd like to see. I really don't want to fail my first batch of students, but I will if I have to. If you continue to put forth a poor effort or worse no at all, I'll have to. Trust me on this, just do the work and you'll pass. Remember you don't have to do the recruiting all at once. Start the day I assign it and do a little at a time until it's done. I know you guys can do it if you just put your mind to it. The next assignment will be up in the next few days so start thinking about how you're going to get it done.
