inIn response to several inquiries on the subject, I have clarified one aspect of the scoring that in the past was implied, but now is made more explicit. Red font shows the clarification.
Typically, a membean week runs Monday thru Sunday.
As recommended the membean staff, do a series of brief learning sessions over the course of the week. Let the learning sink in over time, rather than trying to cram at the last minute. The point of using membean is to build a more robust vocabulary, in order to become a more forceful and flexible writer. Once you find a weekly rhythm, stay with it. Exercise discipline.

inGiven this morning’s announcement from Membean (see below*), I am changing the first assignment.
The same instructions apply–EXCEPT that the period for completing them is now two weeks, instead of one. This means the period to complete the learning sessions runs from Monday Oct 2 to Sunday Oct 15 (instead of Oct. 8). In other words, you now have two weeks to accomplish a week’s worth of learning sessions.

Hi Bill, We’re very sorry that some parts of Membean (primarily the word trainer) are not functioning right now. We wanted to be proactive in communicating this with you. WHAT HAPPENED?Last night (at 8:45 pm PT) we reached an unexpected limit in a region of our database. We have a fix in progress but because of the massive volume of data that we need to copy it’s taking quite a while. The unfortunate effect of this limit is that student word training won’t function until the fix is complete. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME?Your students will not be able to train until we fix this. No training data is lost. WHAT WORKS?a) You can issue assessments and your students can take them from their dashboard. We know that this is an important Friday activity. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED?We are still assessing the time needed to resolve this issue. We’ll keep you posted of any resolution or updated estimate. . . . We expect to be back to normal by the end of Saturday [Oct. 7]. – Your friends at Membean |
