Immersive Experience Blog Posts

Back to Citizen Scholars: Social Justice

Throughout your immersive experience, keep other CS students, faculty, and administrators updated by sending blog posts to our social media coordinator. These will be posted in 'real time' so that your experience can be shared by others in the program. Your focus in these blogs posts should be on your growth and development through significant experiences and interactions in your immersive context. They don't have to be long, but they should be rich and informative. Pictures, videos, and other forms of media are welcome as well. You should aim for at least 1 blog post per week during your immersive experience. If you are on a very short program (1 week), post at least twice.

Submitting your work:

When you are ready to submit work to the Achievements System, make sure you are doing that within the specific tasks (or achievements) that are relevant. Once you submit something, an icon will appear on your program roadmap (the general screen where you can view your program progress). The green icon with a check mark means you have completed that task and that it has been officially approved. The yellow icon indicates that whatever you submitted is currently under review (meaning that you have done what you need to for the moment and program administrators are reviewing your submission). The blue icon with the pin is used for handful of achievements that require you to submit something multiple times. This might be, for instance, a project plan that requires additional updates. For submissions of this sort, once your plan has been approved, the blue pin icon will appear (indicating that you are "good for now, but will have to submit something else in the future" before the entire achievement has been completed). Finally, the red icon with the explanation mark means that something you have submitted has been reviewed, but not approved and requires revision. 

NOTE: This is a submission that utilizes the blue pin icon.
