Group, 

Here is a list of things to do:

(1) Get Becky your section ASAP.

(2) Insert a synopsis of your section in the introduction on the WIKI page. Becky put your name in block letters where you need to input your info

(3) Prepare your presentation.  Tom said we each have 6 minutes to present.  Since there are five of us, lets try to keep our presentations within that time frame.  Do a trial presentation and time yourself.  A good rule of thumb is to allow about two minutes for every page read (double spaced), so no more than three pages to be read.

(4)  Try to put together a four to five sentence statement of your conclusion that explicitly incorporates your section with our larger topic.  This is for our group conclusion (3 Pages). See the intro on the WIKI if you need to revisit what our thesis is.

(5)  Ian - were you still planning on putting together that 3 minute slide show of the "BodyWorlds" still photos.  It would be neat to have music (like Oingo-Boingo's "Wierd Science", but I suppose that would take away from the oral presentation).  I'm kidding about the music, but it would be most excellent to have the slide show.

(6) Faubus volunteered to read the intro section.  Does anybody want to volunteer to read the conclusion?

Don't forget that we are meeting at 2 PM on Wednesday to put the finishing touches on our conclusion, intro, and entire project.  Please make sure that you have everything done that you are responsible for by that point.  Big thanks to Becky for editing our project.  Till then.......

Ryan....you didn't mention my comments on the intro...did you not like them? I do not mind you changing topics, how does the rest of our glorious group feel about it???? I do think we should include the Roman death mask of the patriarch in our into as that is definitely a view of death...

Group 4 received an A for your mid-term.  Good work!

All,

Try to have put together some ideas on what you will be looking at for the final project.  Maybe a summary of what you will be examining, why, what you hope to find, how you think this will add to the larger issue (Death on Display), etc....  If you have sources we can talk about those too.  Hopefully if we all have a clearer picture of what we are examining and why we can beginning assembling and discussing our ideas for the introductory section of our final project during our obligatory meeting tomorrow.  Till then.

Hey everyone,

 My name is Yihang Zhang. I didn't join any groups for midterm project. I did it by myself. Tom let me join Group 4 for final project. I am a second year PhD student in CGU. My major is economics. Before I came here, I get my BA from China.

Glad to join this group. If there is anything I can do, you can send me the email or leave a message here.

Love how we're getting clarification on our class readings via the syllabus now that we're entering week 7!  (see Tyler's most recent entry on the class blog)

FYI - I turned in our project on Friday to the provost. 

Becky...

sorry I didn't get this until now...the idea I have about reading week is that we will post two questions on the blog and the class will have to answer on the blog. They also will have to comment on one other persons comment. We will monitor this to make sure everyone posts their comments, but we will also make comments at certain points.

A possible group project might be a paper listing 5 pro-active ways to help stop domestic violence in the community and 5 suggestions on how to help those already within the circle of violence. These papers would also have to include how to implement their ideas. The last class could be a visit from the LA prosecuter's office, or whoever heads up the DV office, and we could present the ideas to them.

 

Yes, I will bring a copy of my pitiful,poor,little CV...lol

Love the new photo!  I wish it was bigger!
