Revision as of 13:10, 19 March 2008

Today's discussion is simply to deal with any course related issues that have arisen. I will be able to respond quickly between 2:00pm and 2:30pm, and intermittently after that time. You may continue to post points or questions here after the "official" discussion time finishes, or you can just ask me questions directly on my talk page.

Error message

Be aware that every time you edit the wiki right now we are getting an error message: "A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software (etc.). The CTS staff have supposedly repaired this, but if you get this message don't worry - the edit should still go through. Just click on "discussion" or "article" to see the edited page.

Help needed on uploading the paper to the wiki

From the syllabus:

"the papers will be done via the wiki, and after submission the papers will be visible to the entire class. Papers will be submitted to the wiki under the Creative Commons license and may be published more widely (though they can be deleted upon request by the student). Work may initially be done offline in word processing software such as Microsoft Word, but it should be uploaded and formatted for the wiki in order to receive a grade."

General questions

I was wondering when the 4th assignment was going to be posted/due and if it would be possible for it to be assigned for us to work on over this break? Or would you prefer us to work on only our papers this break? Murphy44 14:07, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

I was planning on posting that tomorrow, so you can work on it over break. I'm also hoping to get your last homeworks graded for tomorrow. Walkerma 14:09, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
I'd personally like the break to finish the assignment. J-Fed 14:08, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Help needed with finding reliable sources on my topic

I was wondering if I could expand my paper on where ethanol can be obtained from. J-Fed 14:08, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

(Please sign in, Jesse!) What sources do you have at present? Walkerma 14:06, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
Sorry about that! I have sources from newspapers and a journal article, wikipedia, britannica and some universities studies. Could I talk about sugar cane, oranges corn and other plants too? J-Fed 14:08, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Help needed on uploading the paper to the wiki

If for some reason I cannot upload my paper can I e-mail it to you so that you have a copy? J-Fed 14:09, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
