Journalism - Missed Deadline - Student Reflection
One of the most important aspects of Journalism is timeliness. Students need to know that deadlines matter. This is a reflection that I make my students complete if they miss a deadline.

Bundle: Use the Lessons of Retail to Improve your Classroom Layout.
A few years into my teaching career, a friend who managed a grocery store recommended a book called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping. The premise of the book caught my attention; it hadn’t occurred to me that the layout of stores might be purposely set up—often with the help of high-priced consulting companies—to pull me in farther, keep me there longer, and make me more likely to walk out with items that I hadn’t thought I needed. But there was an unexpected side benefit to reading the book.
