I am getting excited about these research projects. I have been very impressed with the breadth and diversity of your interests, and how readily you have been able to relate those interests to the development of an inter-connected world. I want you to focus all of your efforts on that assignment over the weekend. We will continue our regular course content (textbook and lecture content) as the week unfolds. I have posted our itinerary for the next two weeks so you can plan for what's coming. Note that we'll have an exam at the end of next week and reading each day between now and then. Please stay on top of your notebook as that will help ensure your success on the exam. I will check them twice in the next two weeks so bring them to class each day.
