  • Assignments for Next Week:
    • Class blog:
      Peer Group 1 and Note Takers - see course wiki information
    • Speaker Prep: Peer Group 5 is tasked with developing questions (or being prepared to ask questions) for our speaker nex week. The topic is personal technology and managing information overload. Anyone may ask questions next week - but if the room goes silent, it is Group 5's job to engage the speaker!
    • Reading Assignment.
      Reading summaries are due 8 am Monday before Tuesday's class unless otherwise noted. PLEASE check the readings page for details! (Note: there is no requirement to bring supplemental material into the discussion next week!) Each group should decide how it wishes to present its information to the class -- you will "have the floor" for approximately 15 minutes per peer group.
    • Final proposal due Thursday 26 Oct @ 6 pm Saturday 28 October @ 1 pm via eSubmit. Reminder: Please use eSubmit for your proposal. You'll get a confirmation (proof) of the submission and I'll get all documents in one downloadable package (instead of 25 separate e-mails). Thanks!
    • Nudge: I will review rough drafts of your first paper if I receive them in soon enough in advance. First come, first served.
