Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. On February 8th we will be having our first in-person class of the semester in room CJ 4.320. The goal of the class is to get you comfortable with being back in person and to discuss your first blog posts. 

I am splitting the class into two groups. The first group will attend class from 1:15 – 2:30 PM. The second group will attend class from 2:45 until 4:00 PM. This will allow you to better physically distance in the classroom. If you are comfortable being in an in-person classroom, let’s also be respectful to students who may be nervous to be around other students. I have got a lot of emails from students expressing anxiety and some of excitement. I hope to make everyone comfortable, however you feel about coming back to campus. The following week, we will likely all be back together for the full class. 

You should have got an email indicating which group you are in. If you didn’t receive an email, please let me know ASAP. 

Both groups are also expected to watch The Century of Self: Part 1 and Part 2 before class on the 15th of February and submit a short paragraph of what you learned from the videos. Please bring a hard copy of the paragraph to class on the 15th if you want participation points. 

Here’s the Plan for the Class

1 – Introduction and Check-Ins

2 – Re-explanation about Blog

3 – Covering key points about analyzing advertisments 

4 – Discussion about Blog Topics
