Please look at the syllabus to see what readings you need to take: if you're
assigned a reading, I want to see at least three discussion points lofted by
email at least by Wednesday before the class in which the reading is
assigned--and whether or not you're assigned a reading for that week, I want
to see some response from each of you to at least one of the discussion
points, each week.
You are now grouped into projects, on the class page: I have talked to
people from each of the three projects/institutions, and they're all very
enthusiastic about working with you. We need to do a couple of things to
get the ball rolling: first, I need you to talk to one another and decide
what your respective roles are, now that you have groups: then I need you to
tell me what those roles will be. Next, I need you to mail to the class
list a basic schedule, so I can figure out when each group can get together
with me and a representative from the respective institutions. We will need
probably three of these meetings during the remainder of the semester, and
they will have to take place outside of class time, obviously: I'll consult
each of you before I set a time, but having your schedules will make it much
easier for me to establish possible times.
See you tomorrow, in wilson 308: for future reference, unless it says (MOO)
on the heading for the class that day on the syllabus, class is in the RL
classroom, Wilson 308. There are only a couple of days when we'll need to
do the MOO now, so assume we're in Wilson, in any case. If you turn out to
be wrong, you can always telnet in from there to the MOO.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow: expect to spend most of our time
discussing reading.
