Sydney!

Just kidding, this posting isn't about Sydney at all, I just speculate that she checks the blog on a semi-regular basis, so it would be nice to give a little shout out to her and her blog here.

Also, here is a great article about a new book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which, perhaps oddly, seems relevant given our (your) recent writings in response to Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine.

Also, if you've made it this far in reading this post, then by all means, please scroll down and complete the library survey four posts back. Thanks.

Final project

Due next week, April 20:
A summative, reflective piece (5-6 pages or more, as needed*) that describes and explains how you researched, conceived, designed, implemented, and responded to the project you present(ed) to the class. Again, consider all of the writings we've done this semester as feeding into this piece. How have the different parts helped you arrive at a certain point in your work? What works have you cited? How was this a *research* project for you? Was it successful, and what's next? How did the other class members respond to your work? Does this project and approach correspond to the ways that you approach your other classes and disciplines? How is writing a mirror to your practice?

Also due April 20
Bibliography:
Including everything, everything, everything you've researched this semester, whether directly cited in your pieces or not. All of it. The bibliography is a road map to/through your work.

*The document length here is a guideline only. As we've discussed, depending on the format you choose (perhaps this is a play, a score, some sort of hybrid writing--) this may be substantially longer. It should include a cohesive argument, description, and explanation of your project and how the work developed.

Survey Says

Hello everyone, 

Here is a link to a quick (but important) survey that the Cornish Library designed to help them better design their orientation for next year's Integrated Studies. 

At your earliest convenience, would you please fill out the survey (it's all online) and confirm with me when you've completed it? 

Thanks.

Death and Life

Hi, just checking in. Tomorrow we'll be focusing on the reading from Jane Jacobs and looking at proposals for your site-based projects, talking about a timeline for production (and required elements), and delving further into what you should be compiling for a list of works cited. See you all tomorrow. Weather journal? It's like 60 today!
