497 – Goals/expectation

30 pts

Assigned: Monday, January 9, 2017

Due: Sunday, January 22, 2017 @ Midnight

It’s fair to think of this class as a directed independent study. Each of you brings different skills as well as different goals to the class.

We will collaborate and work together to produce the website and help each other with our stories.

But you will be working independently to develop your story, contact subjects, build relationships, report and eventually edit your project.

What do you want out of this class?

On May 5, 2017,  when you look back at the semester, what do you want to have accomplished?

What will make you feel fulfilled in terms of this class (Sorry, I probably can’t help with fulfillment in the rest of your life)

By Sunday the 22nd at midnight(earlier is fine of course), email me your thoughts. Specific thoughts – as a Word Doc.

  • Are there specific goals you have for the class?
  • Specific skills you’d like to improve or learn?
  • What are your hopes for collaborating?
  • What are your current strengths and weaknesses?
  • What kind of story do you hope to tell?

I want to know what you want and what you will bring to the table. So take some time to think about this. What everyone says will guide where we go for the next four months.

Email me, you can attach a doc, by next class.
