Exam 1 is posted for POLS 1100 - it is on chi tester now, so I think you could take it over the weekend. To be clear, there are 12 questions posted. You choose 6 from the first 10 and 1 from the final 2. I am unclear whether these instructions, which are on the test, will be obvious to you. For the ones you are not selecting, just write no answer.
Hello all -
POLS 1100 - you have an exam coming up next week, start studying! Also - make use of extra credit opportunities. Don’t forget, they can take the place of bad quizzes or a missed game. Or they will be averaged in to your quiz grade.
POLS 3990 - change in date. your literature review is due in two weeks, sorry the syllabus is off by 2 weeks because I originally had you writing 4 papers. So, your literature review is due February 13th.
Hello students, here are the emails for your SI:
For 1100 - Jen Watts: jenniferwatts1@mail.weber.edu
For 3990 - Kjerstin Myers: kjerstinmyers@weber.edu
Be nice to them and only send emails for class related stuff!
Hello all! Happy Martin Luther King Day!
For 1100 - if you would like, you can watch the inauguration tomorrow and write a Get Involved essay reflecting on the event. This would be in lieu of one of the other essays for this third. Good job on the game on Friday. My understanding is there was a little confusion - if the ENTIRE class survived, meaning, all 7 teams survived all 3 rounds, then all students would get an extra 5 points credit. I realize there was some confusion on this - but as Madison was killed instantly, it was not a possibility after about 2 minutes. Smile. See you Wednesday!
For 3990 - get together with your teams and think about what question you might want to ask and get started reading some literature. I will show you how to do this Wednesday night - but if you’d like, you can get started by going to the library catalog and seeing what they have on networking and politics. See you Wednesday night!
Hello all -
For 1100 - I am having issues getting my set of power point slides for you to Kinko’s, I will do it tomorrow. Yesterday I had a series of emergency meetings come up and was unable to make the time. All of the slides are on the website - so you can download them. This week we will play our first game. Wednesday we will get into teams.
For 3990 - all the power point slides are up on the website. This week you have HW 1 due and we will be heading to the computer lab for classwork 2.
For my 1100 course - the kinko’s packet will be available for you on Tuesday.
For my 3990 course - I had website uploading issues and was unable to get the power point up before I left (I am out of town) so I will post it on Tuesday. I apologize for the delay, it will only happen this week.
Have a great weekend!
Welcome back students. Please check this blog once a week, preferably Mondays, to see what is happening in our classes.
1100 - This week we’ll go over the syllabus and have a lecture on citizenship. While we do not have classes on Friday and Monday due to my being out of town, if you are interested in replacing a Get Involved essay with the Deliberative Democracy event on the 4th of March, you need to attend class on Friday to take the survey. We also need to choose teams this week, so take a look around the room and see who you would like to play with for the rest of the semester. Jennifer Watts is your SI, so please ask her if you have any questions.
3990 - This week we’ll go over the syllabus and head to the computer lab for our first assignment. Make sure you have the SPSS book with you every week. We’ll have a full lecture next week. Kjerstin Myers is your SI, so please ask her if you have any questions.
The books for 1100 were shipped to the bookstore December 26th and should be there by Monday or Tuesday. They are the 2009 edition (updated for the new president) and were just finished.
Thanks!
Welcome to the semester. I will use this blog to post information about my classes. Please check in weekly to see what is up. Also - if I have to cancel a class or something has changed, that information will be posted here.
I look forward to working with you all!
