Welcome to Our Virtual Classroom

You'll recall -- if you were in class on Thursday -- that class is canceled on 11/23. Or, at least, we won't be meeting. Instead, we're going to use this blog. Here's how it will work.

Brittany is scheduled to present on the second half of Stoljar's paper. She'll do this online with an initial blog post and by moderating the ensuing discussion. To get things started, I will (as I often do at the beginning of class) provide a recap of the first half of the paper, which we covered yesterday.

Your role, unless you're Brittany, is to comment on Brittany's post in a way that engages substantively with the issues raised and contributes to the ongoing discussion. If you do this, then you'll get credit for attending class and for making an in-class contribution. If you don't do this, then it will count as an unexcused absence from class. All discussion should be concluded by the end of the day on Thanksgiving, and you can expect Brittany's post to be up by Tuesday at 2:30 PM.

If you have any questions about this, please raise them in a comment on this post.
