Last two meetings

Hi, all.

As noted, today will be a “work day” giving you all a chance to put finishing touches on your projects. I’ll be visiting a bit to check in, and be physically in the classroom.

I think we can do presentations online, rather than in person. I was talking with someone in the class, and it seems a bit dumb to put together a powerpoint and talk of what already exists in world. So, I’m going to ask you each to prep a short (~20 minutes or so) presentation in-world. Voice or text–whichever you prefer. There is a HUD that might be helpful for a text presentation, I’ll link to that shortly (or just distribute it to the group).

The only hitch is course evals. I’ll check with Michele Moore about maybe doing online evals, but I suspect that isn’t possible. I won’t encourage this, but if some of you want to have a “live” person record your evaluation, there’s no way I’d know . Alternatively, I think I can mail (or PDF) you an eval form and give you an address to send it to. Let me know if you would like me to do this.

Finally, you should each have a wrap-up post next week about the final project, what you did on it, how you think it turned out. This isn’t an attempt to sell me on the project–I’ll get that in the presentation–but rather a reflection on what you think you learned, what you are proud of, what you were frustrated by, what you wish you (or we) might have done differently. I know many of you have been doing this on the blogs all along, and so here is a final shot at that.
