RESEARCH PORTFOLIOS

So how many of you have already created a physical Research Portfolio, making bringing it into an online version difficult?

Shoot me an email if you are one of those folks. To shannon_carter@tamu-commerce.edu

There’s likely an alternative that won’t require you to recreate this thing for cyberspace. Still keep pressing forward with your WA5s, folks. I know you are stressing. We’ll have time to work on Thursday during class and I’ll do what I can to answer your questions.

The good news: If we can get this stuff out of the way this week, we can focus on writing next week and making plans for get some of this work to serve you in multiple forums. I think that’s a natural way to go about this sort of thing.

Agenda, 11/19

A meeting I absolutely must attend was moved from 11:00 to 12:00. I’m sorry about this, guys, but I am sure you have plenty to do without class today.

Do get some feedback from your peers. The revision of WA4 is due Tuesday, 11/24.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. As always, you can reach me at 903-366-1767.

Yours,
