Policy Argument Proposal Deadline -- Extended

Dear All:

I have extended the deadline for the Policy Argument Project Plan until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 10/10.

You're welcome, and this is probably one of the last extensions I'm going to make, given that you're all very bright. Remember that you have had this assignment sheet in hand since September 30 -- and it was loaded onto Bb earlier than that, and a brief description of the assignment with posted deadlines has been up on our blog since the beginning of the term. In other words -- the information is available to you, so I'm always holding you accountable for it.

Remember, too, that this is not a formal proposal, but rather a planning proposal. It will enable a dialogue between you and me. It will represent the beginning of that dialogue so that I can respond to your project idea.

You should not expect to know every detail about your Policy Argument yet because we are still working through the sphere; however, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start grappling with the assignment, and yes -- you know by now -- every assignment I give you will be one that requires you to grapple. Please get used to that; you came through the Sci/Tech Blog just fine.

In preparing your projecct plan, please read through the Policy Argument assignment sheet carefully. You might also review your class notes and/or check out our notes in Bb, as I upload the notes almost as soon as we generate them. Figuring out this assignment requires a kind of synthesis of knowledge that I'm holding you to because I can hold you to it. (Shall I say it again? You came through the Sci/Tech Blog just fine.)

Have a good and productive weekend,
-Prof. Graban
