Introduction
Hi, I'm Teri Hirlinger and your instructor for TCOM 2113. I've been in the OSU system for 12 years. I'm the Distance Education Coordinator here at OSU-OKC and an adjunct faculty member for Business Technology teaching Tech Writing.
I'm starting my Ph.D in Online Teaching and Training and love this mode of teaching! I, like many of you, have a life outside of work and school. Learning and teaching online is excellent for me because it gives me the flexability I need 24/7.
I have 3 children, Taylor (male) who is 24 and just graduated from the University of Georgia,
Skyler (female), who is 17 and is oh so much more knowledgeable about life than her mother, (yeah right!), and Blayze (male), my 5 year-old midlife surprise who has been a godsend to me. Here is a picture of them...
Feel free to tell me how I can make this course interesting and relevant to you. I want you to be better writers after leaving this course than you were when you started.
Looking forward to working with all of you this semester!

From reading your previous posts, I see that several of you have a hard time doing "research". Every time you "google" on the Internet to find something you are looking for, you are doing "research". http://www.tbchad.com/resrch.htmlYou can write a paper on "How to write a research paper" or "Why students in a TCOM course should NOT write a research paper", or "How a Bibliography is not important". You can write a research paper on anything you want...It just has to have a purpose, statistics to back up your "case" and a recommendation/solution. You could mail out a survey to all your friends or co-workers on a specific subject and use the information that you gathered to write up a paper.How can I help all of you? I do not want you to get behind so we will slow up on some of the other assignments. Give me some feedback on "where you are at"...I would really like to make sure that all of you do an "instructional steps" assignment and I was hoping to cover some report writing and online help assignments also. What would all of you like to learn and complete the rest of this semester?
Week 9 - Executive Summaries
Week 7 - Proposal Planning
