This week and Beyond...

This Tuesday in class we will be signing up for group work days and getting all of that in order. I will post each group's readings on my blog as I get them.

Thursday in class we will be doing a writing/blogging workshop with Mike, and he has asked you to read the two following blogs to prepare for Thursday's class:

1. http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2010/11/18/what-its-like-to-have-sex-with-someone-with-aspergers/

2. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marty-kaplan/future-occupy-wall-street_b_1067550.html

They are both interesting and provocative, so I'm sure you will have lots to comment on in terms of the content, but Mike would also like you to pay attention to the style in which they are written.

Here is the schedule for the rest of the semester (not too far away!):
