Deadlines from here to end of the semester

Thanks to Taylor, who pointed out early this morning that we had quite an impressive logjam of deadlines piling up here at the end of this week.

In my zeal to get you free and clear of the drafting stage of Module 8 before the Thanksgiving break, I had you trying to do way too much this week. I've pushed back the due dates for Exercise 8 and Module 8 peer review to give you all a little more space to concentrate on wrapping up Module 7 this week.

Peer review deadlines for Module 8 are my suggestions; teams might want to negotiate different schedules for reviewing drafts that better suit team members' holiday schedules.

Here's a rundown on deadlines from here through the end of finals week:

• Friday, Nov. 19 - Module 7 Instructions Analysis and Reflection
• Sunday, Nov. 21 -- Exercise 8
• Monday, Nov. 22 -- Submit Module 8 draft for peer review (recommended deadline)
• Wednesday, Nov. 24 -- Return Module 8 peer response (recommended deadline)
• Friday, Dec. 3 -- Module 8 Web Site Analysis and reflection; Exercise 9
• Friday, Dec. 10 -- Module 9 Promotional Materials (i.e. your "final" for this class) due no later than 5 p.m. No late work accepted.

That's it. That is all we have left to do.

As I alluded to earlier, Module 9 functions as your final exam for this class. You DO have to complete the exercise associated with this module before the end of the semester, but how you approach the rest of the module will be up to you. The module will be set up pretty much like every other module. It will have supplemental readings and samples you can refer to if you like, but none of the readings are "required." You are absolutely welcome to continue discussing and peer reviewing with people from class, but there is no compulsory peer review.

I anticipate that I'll have this module up and available for you on Friday so that people who want to get a jump on it can do so.
