Syllabus Adjustments

There are a few adjustments I would like to make to the syllabus.

1) Going forward, I would like a weekly blog update from each group (one post per group–I recommend that you rotate this responsibility) on their thoughts, process, and progress for the final project. You can use this post to get feedback from me, Emily, and your classmates about your project. Tell us your insights, and discuss any stumbling blocks.

2) Along with your reading responses, you should also comment on at least two classmates’ blog posts every week.

3) General questions and discussion items should still be posted in the forum, but since we are meeting weekly going forward, we can turn our energies to blogging and commenting.

4) The wikipedia project is going to be postponed slightly. Details forthcoming!

5) Everyone should contribute to our mural on a regular basis. You have two responsibilities: charting your group’s area and contributing to the areas on major characters and events.

6) Your second reading response–a multimedia response to Year of the Flood–is due on November 14. You may do this project as a group or individually. Keep in mind that a group project should be more ambitious than an individual one! Please let me know your plans by Nov 7. Emily and I are available to consult!
