Crunch Time

With only 3 weeks left of November, you now do not have the luxury of procrastination. Hopefully, you have now focused on your idea for your project and just how you will make an impact on society (which I suggest to do by preparing a preliminary legislative bill sent to a concerned legislator).

Timeline:

11/16 - Each individual's (within each group) written work given to me in class or e-mailed to me before November 16th. The work can be e-mailed to drjuliefagan@gmail.com. I will then give you feedback via the blog site.

11/23 - No class - Prepare for Thanksgiving, but you should continue to work on your project.

11/30 - Meet in class with a hard copy of the complete version of your bill. In addition, the final project should be submitted online.

12/7 - A written response to all the other projects is due.

Welcome

Hey everyone, welcome to the Ethics in Science Colloquia blog. Underneath and to the right of this post are each of the respective discussion groups. All you have to do is register with the site and you will be able to post comments on your group's thread. You should check this webpage often and use it as a means to communicate with your group and set-up meeting times if need be. I can pretty much guarantee that I spelled some of your names wrong, so if I did, e-mail me at robfarruggia@gmail.com. I sent out a test e-mail today to all the people in the class, so if you didn't receive it, let me know.
