Hello Everyone. I'm writing to request you all post your final projects to the course website, if possible (as a file attachment, link, etc). We only had a taste of the projects during presentations, and it would be nice if everyone could see the finished products (which have all been impressive).

Thanks again for a great semester. Your projects have all been terrific!

As you make your conference time requests, please remember that groups must sign up for half hour slots, and individuals sign up for 20 minute slots. Please email me by tomorrow with your request. Thanks!

I've notified everyone via drupal messenger about your total absences for the course. Please remember that you may have up to six absences in the course without penalty (anything over six could result in failure of the course).

• You'll find conference times posted on the Course Calendar page for weeks 14 and 15 (April 9, 11, 14, and 16).
• Please choose a day/time for your conference and email me your choice (ebayer@purdue.edu).
• Time slots will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
• Please note that I have added April 16th as a conference day, so presentations will take place on April 18, 21, 23, and 25.
• Please also note that you will have up to 15 minutes for your presentation if you need it.
  

Here's an idea: We have 7 weeks of blogs left (there will be no official post for Spring Break week). We have 20 students. We could set up a new system in which 3 students each week are "in charge" of blog topics. Each week, the three students in charge would each propose a topic for the rest of the class to respond to (and you could decide to respond to 1, 2, or all 3 of the topics). This would get everyone talking about the same topics, plus take pressure off you to come up with something each week. Instead, you'd only be under pressure for one week.

Have a fun snow day! We'll resume class as usual on Monday.

Hey Gang,

I heard a rumor that we are expected to have 6-10 inches of snow greeting us Friday morning. If it this pans out, I will probably cancel class. So...please check the blog and/pr calendar by 8am this Friday if we do get snow. I will post by 8am to let you know if we're having class or not (and, of course, if there is no snow, then we'll have class as usual. But we're just watching a movie, so come on, it won't be so bad!).
