Closing up the blog ...

Dear All,

As promised, here is a link to the list of questions and approaches we reviewed during Tuesday's class meeting (a stable copy also exists in our course library). As you prepare your RNF presentation for next week, let one or more of these questions or approaches help you to frame how you have negotiated the dual goals of this assignment.

Tomorrow, I will be printing programs for our symposium. If the title you sent me previously is still complete and describes your project, please feel free to let me know that. But do let me know, either way.

As a reminder, I have 17 people confirmed to attend (including the 8 of us), but some of them may leave and arrive at variable times. To be safe, I'd say go ahead and make 17 copies of your handouts, but do accept my apologies in advance if not everyone picks them up.

And finally, please be sensitive to your time frame, rehearse in advance, and plan to deliver the most polished presentation you can. Because we are simulating something like the RNF, I'll ask for professional dress and that you consider a fairly low-context audience (i.e., an audience who may be less familiar with the context of your work and with our course than you would normally assume).

With many thanks and much anticipation and wishes for a productive weekend,
-Dr. Graban
