Welcome to the Winter Term of Ed5840.

This term is a self-directed term in which you are to complete various projects, write an essay, and complete a math competency assessment. See the syllabus and following pages for details.

I will be at the keys of my computer Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. Occasionally I will be out of town traveling with a research project but should be only 3 or 4 days this term.

I am also planning on doing my usual community visits this term. Dates, places, etc will be determined after we have a chance to dialogue. I plan on setting up one WebEx conference for the week of Jan 23 to facilitate this discussion. Please leave your name and date that is NOT good for you that week for a web conference. i plan on starting it at 5:00 pm and it should not take more than one hour. Afterwards I can leave the discussion open for any questions about the course.
