No changes in dates.

I also added the Wednesday office hour, which I neglected to post earlier.

I'll be checking will MED581 and JRN378 re: class this Friday. Will you be here? Check this space for possible cancellation.

One last thing: I will be away from my office hour on Thursday, but I'll be in all day on Friday.

I hope you had a good break. And I hope you have power. The ice storm has knocked all of us back on our heels. But we'll recover quickly.

This is the space I'll use to communicate with all students and all classes. Rather than check this page each day, I'd suggest you set up an RSS feed in your web browser. If you don't know how to do that, stop by the office and I'll show you. That way you'll be notified about new content automatically. (Otherwise, you should check this page everyday.)

Let's have a great semester!

MED581: We'll do the last of the class presentations on Tuesday and finish our discussion about the final. I'll also hand back your case studies.

JRN378: I've canceled the scavenger hunt :-( So we'll use Tuesday to edit assignment #3. If you've already handed it in, that's okay. You may work on it on Tuesday and hand it in again.

JRN374: New due date for assignment #3: Monday of finals week by 2:30 in my office. Do not send by e-mail. Also, let me know by Thursday of finals week how you fulfilled your publishing requirement.

1. If you handed something in and I haven't returned it, please say something! Every now and then I discover a student paper or assignment hiding in the middle of my brief case--usually because the student was absent on the day I returned them to the class.

2. Double check your syllabus often. I've made some due-date changes and/or other minor changes. Ask if you have questions.

Class News:

JRN374: I've made more due-date changes. Please check your syllabus. Also--SUPER IMPORTANT--you should plan some one-on-one time to work with me re: your feature assignment. And--SUPER IMPORTANT--don't forget your publishing requirement. A few of you have taken care of this. See me if you need help.

JRN378: Bring your raw assignment #2 pix to class so we can edit them in Photoshop before you turn them in.

MED581: Your case study is due soon.

While I'm not highlighting this as an example of great column writing, he's doing something here that I think is very important for good column writing. Do you know that that is?

And back to communicating with you on the J Cafe.

A few quick class notes:

JRN374: We'll be delving deeper into opinion writing this week. And will also make another sweep around the room to check on your feature stories. Come prepared with an idea--any idea--and we'll work on it.

JRN378: Your first photo assignment is due this week. Remember to turn it in by e-mail as a Power Point presentation. All pictures must have accurate cutlines.

MED581: This week we'll be discussing privacy. And I'll also prep you for your big week next week. That's when we split into teams for the cheesy prize competition.
