All classes: Check your syllabus

I'll be out of town beginning 12 October. I won't return until after fall break starts.

JRN374: Be sure to attend class on 10 October. That'll be a "nuts 'n bolts" day. We'll discuss upcoming assignments so that you'll be able to spend your time out of class wisely.

JRN378 and MED 581: 10 October is mid term exam day. We'll be discussing your exam next week in class.

JRN374 Back in class today

I'll be back in class this week. I'll give you the gory details about my faculty senate service today.

I'll be making a few syllabus changes--mostly moving two of the article deadlines back a bit. More details in class.

JRN374 My work for the Senate continues

Well, I thought I'd be finished with the current Senate project (we're revamping the faculty handbook). Unfortunately, I must attend today's meeting. So I've devised another in-class exercise so that class can keep moving forward in my absence.

Dr. Tom Dickson will conduct the class.

To MED581 and JRN378 students: Nothing changes for you.

JRN374 Today's class exercise

As I said yesterday, I won't be in class today. But you will still meet and complete an exercise in teams of two (the best three teams win a cheesy prize).

If you haven't done so already, be sure to read Keith Olbermann's commentary about the recent speech by Donald Rumsfeld.

JRN374 FYI

I have to attend another Faculty Senate meeting--this one's really important. I'll be able to bag the rest that conflict with class.

Class will still meet. Dr. Tom Dickson will take over for the day.

I'll post an assignment here tomorrow morning that will help you start working with the columns you've been reading. Watch for it.

JRN374 no class today

I have to attend an important faculty senate meeting today. So there will be no JRN374 class today. Please pass the word.

Also, please be sure to read the columns I passed out on Tuesday. We'll begin discussing them and the Rumsfeld-Olberman dust-up next week.

Off the hook!

I was not chosen for jury duty (may have had something to do with the tu-tu and swim fins). So classes will meet on Thursday as usual.

All Classes: No class on Tuesday

I have to report for jury duty on Tuesday 5 September. All classes are canceled. Please check back at the J Cafe for details about Thursday. Also, help spread the word to your classmates.

Please be sure to read all assignments for this week.

MED581 students: Please be sure to post your biography to The Golden Mean.
