2. Let's go over the course guidelines. Any questions?
3. Get to know a neighbor. Write their name large on a sheet of paper. Tell us:
- their name
- what classes they are taking
- about one thing they think will happen some day (I will list the predictions on the board)
- Put a check mark by the ones that look interesting.
- Put an X mark by the ones that don't look that interesting.
- Put a double check mark by any that are especially interesting.
- Leave blank ones that you have no opinion about.
- Write in any extra topics that you would like to hear discussed!

First class was pretty good, but it is hard to get a discussion going in 208 and the computers block out seeing everybody. Is there anyway we can move the class to ETAS 354? I think we would be more relaxed and talkative in that classroom.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the blog I created for use with this class is at http://engineerdoug.blogspot.com/, there should be a post up on it by next class.
I agree. ETAS 354 would be much better. I also want to note that three blogs is a lot for me. I had homework as early as last Thursday. My professors don't mess around sadly. :)

ReplyDeleteAlso, maybe instead of each having a separate blog, maybe you should have us all post entries and comments on THIS blog... that kind of centralization would make it much easier to read and respond to peers' ideas.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I, being Amber, am now setup with blogger and Google so if you want to see my work you can click on my follower icon and it will pop-up in a list. (Like we were doing in class.)
