good stuff!

Folks:

I have gone through and added comments to each of the research proposals/descriptions by each class member on the blog. In advance of class on Thursday Mar 23, please do 2 things:

(1) Read my own comments on your particular research assignment (and feel free to reply, also in the comments);

(2) Read all other proposals and select at least TWO (2) other proposals which you feel are related to yours. Thus, you'll have 3 proposals under consideration, including your own. In the "comments" section of EACH proposal--your own and the other two you've selected--please add a comment articulating the *specific ways* in which you see the three proposals as related to one another.

So, for each of the three proposals you select, your comment might look something like this:

"I see a clear connection between [this student]'s proposal and mine. Here are the connections I see: (1) ... (2) ... (3) ... I would imagine that [this student]'s research will include drawing upon the following different kinds of sources similar to mine [...] and I expect that [this student] and I might be able to collaborate in the following ways:..."

Remember, you'll make this comment about TWO OTHER proposals AND your own. Please get this done in time for Thursday's class (remember we don't meet Tuesday).
