course status

Hi Folks,

I hope everyone has been catching up on their readings if they’ve fallen behind. I’ve posted your course status HERE. Groups One & Two, your presentation grades were bumped up a couple of percent.

Your attendance grades includes Wed’s class – I’m assuming everyone will be there to pick up the take-home exam (everyone must attend – the exam will not be posted or emailed).

See you Wed!

Lecture Canceled today

Dear Students,

Unfortunately, and with apologies – I must cancel class today due to a migraine. I suspect it’s related to this bizarre air pressure system & weather. Perhaps not such bad news considering the impending (and current) weather.

The lecture slides have already been posted. Please download them and read through the material on the slides and in the notes (there’s additional background).

See you Friday afternoon.

follow-up on our discussion

Dear Students,

Here is some follow-up from our discussion in class yesterday about what happens if there is a strike.

After talking more with some of you, and doing some reading about roles & rights for students, faculty, admin & unit 1 union members – this is what I’ve decided to do:

The lecture slides for the next two weeks have been posted to the schedule on the blog. Again, I encourage you to keep up with your readings.
For presentations – it is totally up to the group if they want to send in the presentation packages on their scheduled presentation date. This makes sense if you want to keep up and stay on top of things. But, I won’t be looking at them or grading them until the strike is over.

Have a good weekend folks.

slides

Hi Folks,

fyi – I’m having trouble loading the slides for today’s lecture – no response from Brock’s server.  I might be emailing them to your Brock accounts. Also, I won’t be in my office today during office hours. Email me if you need anything.

See you in class.

Critical Analytical Writing

Hi Folks,

I’ve added some additional resources to the Critical Thinking page. In particular,  a chart that should help you move from descriptive to analytical thinking.

I see that most of you are not using this page/these resources, which is unfortunate. Please  look  these resources, they are intended to help you for ALL your university courses, not just this one. This is a vital skill that you will need in order to succeed at the university level.

thks.
