week4 for some reason..

Session 4 Is it me or is the list of students growing? Man Dr. Newberry that cloning project is working! I spent the better part of Sat evening away on the keyboard responding to all of the class members. I am happy that I did because on one of the sites I learned that I should still email Dr. Newberry my work. I was under the impression that I did not need to and the Blog was good enough. Oh well, "Better safe than Sorry" they say. I was able to get my district to unblock my blog :)a Puric victory.

Oh yes, thanks to Keith for telling me about the timestamp on the blog. I had grown tired of reordring my weekly posts because the computer decided it wanted to. Tip from Keith: Post and Comment Options below the Compse post box allows you to set time a dates that you posted.

Besides that I have nothing else to report on for the week. More later...until then: type, type, type.....

week 3 what I did and goals, soon to come pre-thesis

Session 3
I am adjusting to the fast pace of the quarter and the fact that I am enrolled at SB :-) and everything is now due on Tuesday. Tonight I will frantically complete the pre-thesis with what I have and then beg for mercy from the 'Sensi'.

What I have done:
reread syllabus, looked over pre-thesis assignment, checked blackboard, responded to all the blogs on my site, invited Newberry and Keith to be members of my site, downloaded the template, copied my materials into the template, attempted to post a picture to the blog, will try to post the thesis to the blog, here it is: Dales Masters etec 644 site
Goals for next week:
get the research train out of the station, find more quality journals, narrow down three sections for the lit review (technology, medical curr, inst design, standards, are the top 4 now), relax, and clear up my 0 for week 1 blog.

You Should Learn Swedish

Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.
Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!
