February 24

Hello,

You have expressed interest in taking my 251 next quarter. Awesome.

Because we’re going to be in situ and with guests, it’s a bit complicated to schedule. And I can’t finalize the schedule without some sense for which and how many of you are enrolled.

Here’s what I know so far:

• Given the scheduling complexity, full attendance won’t be mandatory. Missing one session is probably OK. Missing 3 sessions is probably not OK.
• There will be some Saturday meetings, likely two. Not all day.
• There will be some Sunday meetings, likely two. Not all day.
• There will be some weeknights, selected to suit the group. I want to accommodate people taking 230 with Daniel and Jennifer which rule out Tuesday or Thursday nights.
• I may be able to coordinate with Litia’s 220 colloquium schedule, which opens up Wednesday nights as an option.
• There is at least one Monday: April 18 — though you don’t have to attend the entire event.
• Our seminars normally consist of 20 contact hours. I anticipate that we’ll go over this a bit, but I’m trying to keep things tight. No more than 30 hours, I promise.
• Conversely, our seminars normally consist of lots of reading. While there will be reading, I don’t anticipate more than 50 pages/week on average, and possibly one book. This class is about working with people in their spaces. Related theory is important, but not the focus.
