Out-the-door reminders:

Please:

  • Submit discussion provocations and written assignments by Monday 6pm via Canvas.
  • Bring a printed copy of "research puzzle" to class.
  • Look ahead to Week 3: "Collaboration interview and reflection" and Week 4: "Graduate research plan statement" assignments. These will take a little extra time. Start as soon as you like.
  • Note that I will not hold OH this coming Friday or Monday. Signups start for Friday 9.29.
  • Email me with any questions that come up.
  • Join my research lab for a reception tomorrow (Thursday), 4-6pm in FSB 1-122 (the Center for HCI+D space)! We'll have snacks and stickers.
