nearing the end of week 1

I've spent most of this week organizing my classes, adding students to the blog roll, Google Reader, and the wiki. It's also been a heavy advising week--a lot of students with a lot of questions. The new department website that I developed this summer has proven a useful advising tool. Unlike the old site that was way out of date and difficult to update, the platform for the new site is fairly easy to use--and the information is current.

I hope you've all had a chance to read the first three chapters of your text. They provide an important foundation for the rest of the book. Chapter 3 is particularly useful because Griffin goes through a systematic analysis of Bormann's symbolic convergence theory--an analysis template you can apply to any theory.

The week ends tomorrow. Be sure you've completed all your process tasks so you have a good start in the class this semester. And enjoy the holiday weekend!
