All other scheduling will be done in numerical group order. 10/26 - I have a few final papers from a previous semester. Unfortunately, I do not have a soft-copy of any, only hard copies. If you would like to take a look at them, please stop by my office at some point. 10/25 - I've set-up headers for each group in the WebCT bulletin board. If anyone comes across something that might be of interest to another group you can let them know about it through WebCT. I've also updated the group listings on the group page. If there are any errors, please let me know ASAP. Also, if no topic or contact email is listed...let me know what these should be ASAP. Keep working!! 10/12 -Class will meet on Tuesday October 19th at 9:30AM for very brief informal status reports from each group. (You don't need slides.) Each group will indicate the status of their work. Each group should probably prepare a time-line and responsibility chart. For those groups and individuals who have not yet defined group membership - please finalize this in the next couple of days and let me know. Also, don't forget that each group is to send an email contact...so far only a couple of you have done this. 9/29 - Class will meet tomorrow to hear the final two mini-presentations. Check the "Groups" heading to see the current make-up of groups for the final projects. Tomorrow we will discuss getting started with the final project. We also need to finalize groups. 9/19 - If any groups are looking for more members or any one not already in a group, please see the list at the bottom of the group page for those students who would like to be in a group but are not presently in a group.
