DAY 12, 13, 14, 15 (Feb 17, 18, 22, 23) Follow-Up

Although I was scheduled to be away for Days 12 & 13 and you had work to do, I expected to be here on Day 14, Feb 22.  Unfortunately I couldn't be so in effect you have had three days to work on projects and/or review.  I apologize for not being here but sometimes professional duties interfere with scheduled classes.


So, because I wouldn't consider it fair to expect you all to start your presentations after my three day absence, we spend the day working further on the presentations and your papers.  I'm VERY IMPRESSED with the work that you are all producing - your attention to detail is impressive and I'm really looking forward to your presentations that will start next Monday (see below).

Because of the changes in schedules and because of a very large field trip tomorrow, as a class we agreed today that your presentations will begin on Monday and they will still follow the original order of topics because they occurred throughout history in that chronological order.  Everyone should be ready to present on Monday although we will certainly not have sufficient time to see all the presentations that day.  We will be finishing presentations on Tuesday.

To that end we will meet in the Comm Tech Lab on Thursday (that's Rm 211) as a final polish-up day for your presentations and papers.

On Friday of this week we will do an in-class Peer Edit of your work.  Please see the marking scheme for the marks for this.  Everyone must submit on Monday your completed copy of your paper along with the THREE peer-edited versions of it so that we can compare your finished product with the works-in-progress.

To be clear, here is what the next three days look like:
Thursday, Feb 24 - Lab 211 (Comm Tech) for final work period
Friday, Feb 25 - In class Peer Edit day for your papers - come prepared!
Monday, Feb 28 - All final copies of your papers along with THREE peer-edited copies are due at the beginning of class.
Monday, Feb 28 - We will start our presentations, we'll finish them on Tuesday and then move on with Human Rights Issues in Law.
