ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENTS IN LIEU OF 2ND WORKSHOP WEEKEND

The results of my informal survey were pretty clear: most of you had work or social commitments for next weekend, or no vehicle or no place to live or some other reason prohibiting you from attending a rescheduled workshop. So. . .I've decided to complete it as best we can via e-mail and this blog. Here's what we'll do:

1. Be sure you send me your chapter notes from the Penguin Medieval history book for posting to this blog. If you don't see yours on the blog at this point, it means I did not receive it. Please send it to get credit. If you also did a PowerPoint presentation on your chapter, e-mail that to Prof. Truedson for posting, and I will give you the extra credit.

2. Send your PowerPoint presentation about your Easter break trip idea to Prof. Truedson (jtruedson@bemidjistate.edu). He will post them and I will have a link from this blog to them.

3. E-mail me a message (400-600 words) with a plan for how you will do the reading for your other Oxford classes. Who, for example, shares your other classes? Have you discussed with them how to share the study plan? Which books do you have to read? Are they novels? Are they textbooks? How many pages do you need to read? To outline or take notes on? How many hours will this take? When will you do it? What can be shared with the other people in the class and which reading will you have to do yourself? (Novels would certainly fall in this category.)
