A reminder that I have extended Office Hours this week: Today (Thursday) from 12–2PM, and tomorrow (Friday) from 11AM–12PM.

As we discussed during class yesterday, there is NO CLASS on Monday, Dec 12.

Yesterday was our last, in-person class. (P.S. Everyone who asked for an extension until Dec 12 on their Final Portfolio received one.)

I will be available to you Online for questions or help. I wish you good luck with your other classes and exams. I will write to you again soon.

Yay, us! It was great to have you as my students. I really appreciate each and every one of you.

..on Wednesday. Yes, Nov 2’s class will have us looking at you for a whole 60 seconds. Hey, you can even take over the AV lectern and show us visuals if you like.

You talk; we listen. So please be prepared to share your project at any stage it is in Right NOW. (Chances are, we will *snap*.)

Also: I would like to see everyone weighing in here via post and comment on OpenLab, as I requested last week.

See you soon.

(doesn’t have to be as formal as this…but hey, he is trying)

Hi Class, So, this coming week, we are pivoting to Online for Mid-Term conferences (no in-person class!). We will be meeting for individual conferences via Zoom, and posting our Opinion-piece brainstorms, and commenting, here on OpenLab. I am looking forward to reading your ideas and seeing you, albeit from afar!

I apologize for the delay. I now have a spreadsheet with 10-minute increments for conferences to discuss your Mid-Term Grades and progress here:

(The above spreadsheet has within it further Zoom Links for joining.)

I won’t make these conferences mandatory, but I strongly suggest them if you want to do well. Mid-Term grades are pretty cryptic (“P” = Passing; “BL” = Borderline; “U” = Unsatisfactory), and meeting with me face-to-face, however briefly, will help.

Note: There is a chance that I may need to see a dentist, STAT, this week, so if that occurs during your scheduled conference time and I need to cancel, I will let you know via email. Again, apologies for the delay, and I thank you for understanding!  -Prof. S.
