How does a brain work? Is it applicable to this project?

CMD — nice work

February 5, 2009

I think the presentations went very well this morning. Going first can be scary. I expect the next two groups to learn from this experience and keep raising the bar…

The formatting was much improved over last semester’s work. Keep on thinking about the reader. Additionally, I think it’s OK to place words about a link on the page rather than a full URL. Full URLs are probably best for referencing, but you might want to think about shrinking the font on those so that the don’t wrap on the page, etc.

You should also think about working from the site, rather than as a logged in editor. This is what others will see, your links will work in a more natural way, and you’ll have more room on the scree with the editing tools removed.

Don’t forget to introduce yourself.

One last thing on my mind, I really thought the presentation of brain parts/mods/areas went well. It was simple material, but I liked that it was written and shared in thorough way on the site, then presented not by reading words, but by using images. We can all go back and read the info ourselves. Your shared info and your presentation can be different things.

Collaboration workday

February 2, 2009

Cog Scholars,

Since we finished our work together why don’t we make tomorrow a work day for the collaboration folks. All of you know who you are in groups with (check your email). Since this is our first go at it, I think it will be justified and then we’ll have a great presentation/study session on Thursday. Everything should be top notch and groups 1a & 1b will place the bar way up there…

This is not likely to happen for our other groups (mods 2 & 3) so you guys should consider getting together as well. Coffee in the library is always nice.

I’ll be in tomorrow morning to help and solve some problems.

Best, prof_chuck

How is everyone doing?

We’ve pretty much finished talkign in class about perception, not we can turn to the construct of attention.

We will take some time on Tuesday for the group 1 folks to get together and share info for the collaborative media development project.

Later, prof_chuck
