Reminders for Class 7

Please submit your final project documents by email attachment... the deadline is Tuesday 5/8 at 7:20 PM, i.e. at the start of class.

No class on 4/24 or 5/1. The meeting for 5/8 will be in Enterprise 418 from 7:20-10:00. Please consult the conference schedule document or email me if you are wondering what is supposed to happen in the meantime.

Missing class on 5/8 would mean letting down the classroom community that has supported you for months, and also missing your opportunity to offer meaningful input to a BIS program in a state of serious flux. 

I am also soliciting ideas for the optional, everyone-welcome class party that follows the reception that follows the presentations that are Tuesday 5/15 from 4:30-7:10 on the 3rd floor of the Johnson Center. 

Item of Note: Apparently there are wireless clicker devices available at the main BIS office, if you want to borrow one for use during your presentation. Please reserve with Lenore Kuch!   

In conclusion, good luck finishing your projects and feel free to email questions. Disclaimer... you do not get a puppy when you complete BIS.

Reminders for Class #6 and Personal Conference #3

In light of our conversation on 4/3, I've updated the calendar on this blog. I also added everyone to the sharing on the conference sign-up Doc, so please check there to confirm your conference time. The deadlines for pre-submission are now included.

Methodology Starter Questions:  How did you do the research? and Why did you do it that way? and Why did you not do it some other way? and/or What are the standard research methods used in Discipline 1? and/or What are the standard research methods used in Discipline 2? and/or What are the standard research methods used in Discipline 3? etc. and/or What are the standard methods that have been used to study this problem? and/or What other methods could you have used that you didn’t? and/or What other methods would you have liked to use that you couldn’t? and Why did you choose to use (one/some) of these standard methods? and/or Why did you choose not to use (one/some) of these standard methods and do them some other weird way? and Would you could you on a boat? or Would you could you with a goat?

By Popular Demand: Some of you have been asking about whether there are PowerPoint workshops available on campus. Thanks to Clara we now have this calendar that proves the answer is YES.
