(in reverse chronological order)

• Apr23: The due-date for the final version of your research projects is Monday May 11 @ noon. Please plan to deliver a hard-copy version either in the Annenberg mailroom or in my office (KER209) and to email me a soft-copy. Late papers will be penalized (grades for late papers will go down one 'notch' per day: an 'A' paper turned in a day late becomes an 'A-', 2 days late and it's a 'B+', etc. This allows you to 'buy' more time if you think it will make a real difference to the quality of your work, but obviously, after a few days no amount of effort can compensate for lateness)
• Apr23: A reminder that our last class meeting is next Monday, April 27. We agreed to start at noon, to make sure we have enough time to go through all the projects. I will order pizza for lunch.
  • let's aim for 20 minutes for each project, including presentation and discussion
  • that means you should be prepared to present your project in about 10 minutes.
  • you can use whatever presentation technique works best for you (powerpoint, poster, handouts,... or anything else)
  • Make sure you cover the key points: research question(s) and hypotheses, method, present the research you did and your analysis. This is your chance to get feedback on how to improve your project before the final deadline, so if you have any remaining question, you should present that as well.
  • please select a time slot in the Final Presentation Schedule (you are of course expected to attend all the presentations and actively participate in the discussions)
• When you go to the Projects page and click on the tag each one of you has chosen for their project, you will see resources on the subject. Don't hesitate to use this tool to keep track of web sites related to your project, but also to highlight resources you think might be useful to your classmates - all you need to do is tag with 'cmgt582' and the project's tag. Use these tags in blog posts as well.
• 3/10: Please create a page for your research project and link it to the Class Projects page. Also choose a 'tag' for your project (a short word that describes your topic, like 'favella' or 'opensource'). We'll use that to keep track of related web sources via delicious.com, or on the blog. Sign up on delicious if you haven't already.
• 3/9: Could you please make sure to list the readings you have chosen for your class presentation in the Schedule?
• 2/4: I have added one reading to the list for Monday. Make sure you look for it.
• 2/4: Please sign up for a topic on the 2009 Class Presentation Schedule
• 2/4: thanks to those of you who posted on the blog. others please do, so we can make sure this works for everyone.
