Hi all – I hope you had a good break and are energized to focus on rent regulation for the next 6 weeks or so! Here are a few clarifications and reminders about this week:

  1. It’s not on the syllabus, but as I explained in class before break, please fill out and submit the Group Work Self-Assessment on the website under the Rent Regulation Research Project by class time tomorrow. It should take you less than 5 minutes.
  2. As you know, your interview write-ups are also due tomorrow. You should summarize the most important findings of your interview in a two-page write-up, which you will also submit via the website.
  3. The presentations in class tomorrow will be informal — no need to prepare a visual aid. You will each describe your findings, and we will brainstorm about how these findings will contribute to your final projects.
  4. On Thursday, we will start digging into the data. There is also a Rent Guidelines Board meeting on Thursday at 9:30 am. The following Thursday’s meeting lasts most of the day, and you are required to attend for at least an hour (and we will not have class that day).

See you tomorrow!
