Synaesthesia

Thanks Katie for introducing us to this fantastically interesting topic! We were a bit rushed today to share our own personal thoughts on this, so maybe we could continue the dialogue here! The LINK below is the one Katie mentioned at the end of her presentation. For the Wednesday class - don't miss reading this!
Bye for now...

The final stretch ....

Well....the last week has arrived. Sigh......
On a practical note, if there is anything you need to return to me (books, fund-raising IOUs, etc.), don't forget please! Also, for any of you techies out there, you may want to consider submitting something you've done this year to the contest. If you forget about this, go to the Student Page of McQuarrie Online, and scroll down to the information on the Media contest. I can help you put this together this week if you're interested.
On a more personal note, I am looking forward to spending this week with you, finishing up the projects and a few other things, and doing some celebrating! Let's have fun, ok?? See you at McQ......

Simon's suggestion.....

Hi everyone,

In the last post, Simon suggested a website where you can do a survey and find out where you land on the 'political compass'. (I think he's mentioned this in class as well.) I've done it and I think it's quite interesting! It might be even more interesting if we all tried it - there would be lots to talk about! If you do it, either share results here or bring them to class this week. Click the link button below to get started.....
