Just wanted to remind you that each group is expected to prepare two insightful questions related to the content of our seminar on January 14 -- "Experience, engagement, and envisioning the future".

The students are supposed to submit physical copies of their essays by placing them in either (a)  Victor Kaptelinin's incoming mail tray (in the "copying machine" corner), or (b) a box located outside Victor Kaptelinin's office door.

It was previousley announced that the deadline for submitting examination essays is the last day of the course. However, the last day of the course -- Jan 17 -- is Sunday. Because of that the deadline is extended by one day. The essays can be submittted during Monday, January 18. They will be collected by the teacher on January 19, at 10:00 in the morning.

An additional lecture on the topic "Studying context" will be arranged on Thursday, Jan 14, 13-15 (the departmental conference room or, alternatively, MA478 -- the "masters program room").

There was a typo in the course schedule: Dec 14 was incorrectly indicated as "Tue" rather than "Mon". Sorry about that! The typo has been corrected but still some students could have missed the class today thinking that "Dec 14" is going to be tomorrow... For these students an additional class on the Activity Checklist will be arranged in January. The date will be decided upon during our first meeting in 2010, on Jan 8. Also, on Jan 8 we will discuss "Diary studies".

Merry holidays and happy New Year! See you in 2010!

Victor

Please note that when we meet on Friday next week, November 20, you are expected to (a) further develop the flow model we started to develop in the class on Nov 12, and (b) conduct and be prepared to discuss a pilot interview within your course project -- writing an individual examination essay (see here). We will also talk about Scenarios, as well as any other issues, related to the course, you would like to discuss.

The schedule of small group supervision on November 20 is available here.

Dear All,

Welcome to the first meeting of the course, which will take place on Wednesday, November 4, at 13:15. We will meet in room MA378. We will discuss everything related to the course: its context, literature, assignments, examination, etc.

I look forward to meeting you all on Nov. 4!

Best wishes,
Victor
