Class blog

I decided that I would start a class blog, something to relate messages to the class, talk about upcoming assignments, or whatever.

Today I found out that there is going to be a Nova special called Origins. This looks very relevant to the class and it may become assigned viewing, but I haven't decided yet. I do highly recommend to the class that they check it out.

The Origins website is located at:

There has been a bit of trouble with the require texts for the class. This is being sorted out and in the interim I have an alternate set of reading for the class which will be announced Friday, 26 August.

So far, the blogs that have been submitted are range from "not bad" to "pretty good" to excellent. I strongly encourage all the students in my class to check out what the other students have writen so far and comment where you feel appropriate.

I don't think I have to say this, but I do expect a certain level of civility when it comes to posting comments on peoples' blogs. I only mention this because I know some people go a little crazy when they do new things on the net.
