yea, I think.....not sure about A+

3/12/2007 2:13:09 PM

so what's the deal with this week? only 5 people did week 9's assignments last sunday and everyone else just continued doing it this week. is week 10 due today?

3/18/2007 11:42:59 AM

^ya, i'm confused as well. Should I consider today (monday) through next sunday, week 10 or 11?

3/18/2007 11:59:18 PM

Well, contrary to what hooksaw said, which probably means its wrong, I went along with the fact that Dr. Earnshaw didn't post the Week 9 assignment until Sunday of last week plus the syllabus spring break - no assignment deal to wait until last night to do the assignment .

There seems to have been a bit of confusion surrounding the course assignments for the past couple weeks. If you have questions, I would encourage you to contact Dr. Earnshaw--the due date for assignments is not my call.

BTW, Dr. Earnshaw does mark +/- for final grades. And occasionally, students' work merits an A+ here and there.

" 4/2 TO BE ANNOUNCED"

I guess this is code for 'work on your research paper'?

4/2/2007 9:49:01 AM

^thats what i was thinkin, but i'm gonna email earnshaw to find out...

4/2/2007 1:23:07 PM

E-mailed, told to just look at the announcements and syllabus. Which both told me nothing so.. I'm personally just gonna go ahead and do the week 13 stuff.

4/3/2007 1:06:36 AM

is anyone else noticing blackboard running really crappy tonight?

4/8/2007 10:13:11 PM

So, I'm feeling kind of stupid, but what is the topic and requirements for the research paper? I can't find any information on it other than its due Wednesday...

4/11/2007 2:46:11 PM

^ The following is what is posted in Blackboard from Dr. Earnshaw:

Quote :

"Term Paper: In addition to a final exam, I will be requiring a term paper from each of you on a topic of your choice but, obviously, pertaining to some topic we cover in class. Your paper should involve a blend of technology, ethics, communication, or other factors that enter into the cause of a particular technological catastrophe. I will expect your research materials to be found on the Web and to be appropriately documented in the bibliography. I expect the body of the paper to be no less than 3 pages minimum with a maximum limit of 5 pages. Documentation of source material, graphs, diagrams, etc. will not be included within the body of the paper’s limit. As you can see, I’m open to just about any topic. I am not approving or disapproving your topic so there is no need to submit it to me for review. Thanks! "

I don't recommend coming to The Wolf Web for these types of answers. You should e-mail Dr. Earnshaw.

anyone selling books for this course?

4/13/2007 2:51:27 AM

^ I'll sell you mine when i'm done with it.

4/13/2007 7:58:31 PM

^^^ The instructions listed above are correct.

4/13/2007 11:26:15 PM

is the final from the entire semester or start from the midterm

4/30/2007 12:17:51 AM

^ I would assume cumulative. That's how the 402 one was (earnshaw also does this DE, hence the relevance of that reference). Gonna do the 322 final in a bit, woot!

5/1/2007 3:39:25 AM

Well, hope it goes well...

5/1/2007 7:02:35 PM

earnshaw says "It will cover material since the midterm", so i'm assuming it covers what comes after the midterm, which isnt much, but explains why this exam is shorter. lets hope thats all there is to it.

5/1/2007 8:20:10 PM

Not bad at all. That's all I'll say 'til the window closes

5/1/2007 10:46:41 PM

Yes, the final exam questions come directly from the text chapters listed in the syllabus after the midterm.

5/2/2007 5:06:51 AM

How long till grades come out?

5/2/2007 3:20:27 PM

^ I'll probably have everything done by Friday night.

5/2/2007 11:33:58 PM

I'm selling my book. If you want it, hit me with a PM. You'll definitely need it for the class.

5/2/2007 11:43:23 PM

So when can we expect a paper grade?

5/4/2007 10:13:37 AM

Grades are posted--good luck!
