October...a strange month

Now that that we've survived October, I'll be back on a normal schedule. And back to communicating with you on the J Cafe.

A few quick class notes:

JRN374: We'll be delving deeper into opinion writing this week. And will also make another sweep around the room to check on your feature stories. Come prepared with an idea--any idea--and we'll work on it.

JRN378: Your first photo assignment is due this week. Remember to turn it in by e-mail as a Power Point presentation. All pictures must have accurate cutlines.

MED581: This week we'll be discussing privacy. And I'll also prep you for your big week next week. That's when we split into teams for the cheesy prize competition.

Mid-term exams

JRN378 and MED581 students: You'll be taking your mid-term exam on Tuesday 10 October. DO NOT MISS CLASS.

JRN374: Students in this class do not have a mid-term exam. We will be finishing our discussion of writing reviews. Bring your ideas to class so we can discuss specifics.

Reminder for all classes: I will be leaving for the 2006 Media Ethics Colloquium on Thursday. Classes will not meet that day. I will not return until fall break begins. That means that we will not meet again until 24 October.

JRN374 Faculty Senate tomorrow

I have to attend the faculty senate meeting tomorrow. We will have class. Jack Diamond will be in charge. I'll have another exercise for you re: reviews. Be sure to read the examples I handed out. (Sorry, no cheesy prizes this time.)

I'll be in class again on Thursday to continue our discussion about reviews.
