Class #5 Post-Game

If you missed all or part of the class, the most important things we did were make an outline for the main/evidence/analysis/body/whatever-it's-called section of the research project, and then a calendar for completing the project that runs through to the last class on December 6. I'd like you to email me the calendars when you finish them.

Please also note the changes to the target deadlines on the right side of the blog.

Class #4 Post-Game and reminders for upcoming conferences

I will post more here soon; in particular I want to find some guidelines and a sample for the upcoming methodology section. For now, be aware that class will not meet again until October 25. If you haven't already signed up for a personal conference on Google Docs, please do so.

Ideally you would all meet the deadlines on the schedule to the right, but we have adjusted them somewhat from person to person. (Don't expect me to remember exactly how, ha ha.) The main thing is to get me as much as you can a day or two before our conference so that we can maximize its usefulness.

I also want you to complete today's final class exercise by emailing those 15 questions to your partner (about whatever part of the project you've been able to read so far), and then emailing me your 15 brief answers, or posting them here. For those of you who were interested to look at the second half of the document I showed you today, you can find it here.

Oh, and... I highly recommend that you attend the following lecture on the Mason campus if you are able to!
