Important Announcement: Our end-of-semester celebration will meet at Hard Times cafe at 9:30p.m. on Wednesday 12/7. Not required, but all are invited. The address is 4069 Chain Bridge Road, in downtown Fairfax just before the intersection with Main Street. You can park in the SunTrust Bank lot because it will be after hours. You can see the map here. If anyone needs a ride to the subway, etc. afterwards, I can provide.
Deadline Reminder: Submit your proposal for the BIS committee by Sunday 12/11 at 11:59 p.m. Please contact me ASAP if this deadline appears problematic given your upcoming schedule. Early submission is virtuous and shall be rewarded by a warm feeling of accomplishment. Proposals should be submitted to Aaron only, though you are welcome to c.c. your faculty mentor as long as you make it clear to him/her that you are not asking for last minute editing advice. (The poor darlings.)
Research Log # 9

I am happy to say that I am able to come up with a topic, research for sources and put a proposal together. I learned how to narrow down on a topic, use the online library to search for sources and also how to do peer reviews. At the beginning of the class, I had very little confidence, but with the step by step instructions I was able to gather courage to move along with the class. The way each step of the process was explained in class made things easy for me. The instruction style copes very well with my learning style which makes the course very interesting.. I have put in a tremendous amount of time into this project. Since I’m a very slow reader, I spent most of the time reading into late hours of the night which takes the energy out of me. Finally I’ve learned how to cite sources the proper way. Thanks to Dr. Winter.
