Because your revision of Exercise 2 is due today, and Exercise 3 is due on Wednesday, there is no online prediscussion activity this week.

This page describes what's due today (Monday) and also Wednesday.

Every item mentioned has a separate page on the course website. Check those individual pages for full details.

Weekly Update Sep 20.mp3

As we introduce blogging into the course, we will start slow, and there will be time in class for workshopping and trouble-shooting. We'll need a little time to adjust to the way technology affects the classroom, but my intention is always to push the house-keeping and info-dumping outside of class-time, to save more our limited class time for high-value, face-to-face discussions.

So what's going on?

In addition to these 15 minutes of video, notice that for today I've also posted a 30-minute audio lecture.  I might have delivered both during class, but instead I'm assigning them for you to listen to and watch outside of class. My intention is to put move as much as possible of the one-way "info dump" out of the classroom, so that during our limited class time, we spend more time doing face-to-face work.

You're welcome to play these files while folding your laundry or during your commute. The idea is that when you come to class on Wednesday, you'll be ready to talk (and write) about this material. (Hint... there's a four-letter word that starts with Q.)

(These due dates are now shifted to Tuesday, on account of the holiday.)
