Hello! I hope you have enjoyed a few days off of graduate school. Most of you are right back into it for the summer.
I’d like to report that I’m all caught up with internship matters. That is:
- All of you should now be in WebCT/7460.
- I acted upon the “starting out” info you submitted a couple of weeks ago, as appropriate for each person.
- I created a Discussion Board for each person – which is private between you and me. Everyone now has at least a “starting out” message. From henceforth, I am in reactive mode – you do a step, and post on your Board the results, as appropriate. Follow the Checklist to the letter, and in sequence. You don’t actually have to report every little step; I think it’s clear where you have to wait for my action before going ahead.
- By “caught up” I mean that I’ve acted upon things, but some tasks take several days to 2 weeks to complete. In each case, I’ve acknowledged the task and given an idea of when it will be completed. For example, I must contact several system administrators, and that always takes time – phone tag and emails and delays, etc.
So, if you haven’t gone there yet, check out 7460 and especially your bulletin board. Also check “My Progress” for a quick view of your status.
EDIT 6340 wrapped up nicely. Course evals ended up 100% – thanks to all of you!
As for my schedule this summer, I don’t have one – I’m not really working, but will try to keep up with the little things. My computer is in the shop for 50,000-mile maintenance and my connection is too slow right now — maybe those are good things. No big trips planned; hope to do “homey” things.
Also, I changed the calendar name from 6300/6340 to Cohort 8.
Have fun on Saturday!
