Visitors' Comments on your class projects

Aiden,

This was a fabulous project! I have been thinking of doing something along these lines but haven't had a class of students old enough to get things going. I LOVED your students work and YOUR initiative.

Way 2 go!

Hi Aiden,
the projects were really very interesting, I loved their choices of
artists! I couldn't leave a comment on group 1's blog (Pissarro)
because I couldn't access the blog... I think there's something
missing in the url (perhaps the name of the artist, but none of my
guesses worked).

There were some problems with the links (some extra spaces), so I
fixed them so that other people may be able to access the blogs
easily.

Congratulations to you and your students, they must have had a lot
of fun doing the projects!

Um abraco,

Dear Aiden:

Congratulations to you and your students. I'm going to add comments later, but I'm going to show the presentations to my students first.
I've seen the first one so far. It's fantastic. The song fits perfectly to the images.I loved it.

Thanks

Dear Aiden,

I have been amazed immensely by the beautiful works of your students. I am
very much thankful to you for inviting us to enjoy these masterpieces. It's
a good example for my students for the future.

Great JOB! Stay happy!

These are amazing Aiden. Congrats to you and your students. You have
raised the bar once again. And you just know that I will use these in
a presentation someday somewhere ;-)

Great stuff, and thanks for sharing them.

Time and Room for Midterm exam

2007-04-23T02:22:00.000-07:00

I have asked the Department Secretary, Christine, to reserve any of the rooms that you gave me, Q305, 306, 706, and 503. All these rooms have already been reserved by other classes. Make-up classes and other reservations made by other classes are not shown on the computer system. The only available room is the conference room, which like what I've said previously, is not open for regular classes.

You can call Christine at extension 5304 and clarify this matter with her.

Meanwhile, we will stick to our original time and place,

Date of Midterm: April 27
Time: 1:10-3:00 pm
Place: Q202

You need to post the following on the class blog:

2) group evaluations: What are the good points of doing this project together? Do you think your group chose the right topic/subject and music?

3) Other groups' projects: Look and watch their photostories again. Are there any errors in their work, for example, spelling errors? Do you think the lyrics that they put on the slides match the photos being shown?

Where do you post your comments?

Go to individual group's project (as posted on the blog)and click 'Comments'. Write your comments in the text box. Don't forget to include your name and student number. Please note your comments won't affect your grade in this class.
