The End of the Road

Can you believe next week is our last class? We will be doing course evaluations, BIS exit survey, lessons learned, and of course sharing & caring. I've also had a request for a brief workshop on project titles.

I am expecting everyone to submit final projects on paper or as a PDF file (email or Google Docs), by Sunday night 5/8. Earlier is fine, but if it's going to be later we need to make an explicit arrangement.

At this point, don't expect general "read my draft" comments, but I can answer specific questions. I'm a little behind and will be writing to some of you today (Thursday).

Holy S*** You Guys Write a Lot

Keep up the good work, though. This is what one of the characters on The Wire calls, "one of them good problems."

Reminder: We are still in the midst of the last personal conference cycle, so the class will not meet on 4/18~4/19. We will have two more classes, 4/25~4/26 and 5/2~5/3.

Class #6 Post-Game and Reminders for April

For those who missed the last class, we've changed the schedule. There will be no class on Monday 4/4 or Tuesday 4/5 and we will be meeting for individual conferences next week. Please check your Google Docs for the sign-up. Sorry for posting this message so late.

Request: Anyone sending me a document that contains some stuff I've already read, and some stuff I haven't... can you please use the highlighting tool (maybe blue or green) to show me what's new? Or just email me which pages to pay closest attention to. Thanks.

Announcement: It appears that April 25/26 was the decisive winner of the opinion poll, so I am adjusting the schedule accordingly. The agenda for that meeting includes "The Sentence Doctor" as well as the underwear story if I haven't told it yet this semester, any last-minute dilemmas about citation formatting, and Aaron's philosophy on writing conclusions and a group workshop therewith. Yeah I just used the word "therewith," deal with it.
