Change of plans for tonight
Tracy Lippincott
Hey guys,
I have been suddenly struck with either food poisoning or some kind of nasty virus. I'll spare you the details but it's safe to say I will need to stay home tonight. Mega sorry for the late notice but this totally came out of nowhere! :(
I am available tomorrow evening, assuming this unpleasantness has passed, and would appreciate the opportunity to get together with anyone else who's free and up for it. Are you still going to meet tonight? It looks like it'll be just Spike and Greg, unless any others were quietly planning on showing up... but Spike had mentioned potentially having more than one meeting to catch up anyway...?
Thoughts?
Cheers m'dears,
Yracy
--Hey Tracy,Thanks for updating the event. I'm also catching up, made it to week 6 last night but unlikely to get much further. I think most of us will b in that situation so we may just do a couple catch-up meetups if people feel that way, ie do up to week 5 today and then 6 and 7 next meetup. What do people think?
Sent from my iPhoneHey guys,
Spike suggested that we meet at Cable Car City Pub again, so I have updated the location on the Meetup page. I feel way out of touch with the course material, but I'll try to catch up this afternoon. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!
By the way, if anyone will be joining us for the first time -- you can find us in the front of the restaurant by the windows. Look for the only group of people with notebooks and/or tablets. :)
Cheers,

I wasn't able to attend and wanted to gauge what you guys covered. Also with the holidays and all there's been a lot of material published, do we intend to cover it all this coming monday? should we have a longer-than-usual session to catch up?cheers and looking forward to see you all again.SpikeOn Dec 28, 2012, at 7:50 PM, Tracy Lippincott wrote:Hey guys,I realize that not all of you have been to our meetups or been included in some of the earlier emails we exchanged before starting the Google Group, so I wanted to share some of the very useful links we have found, in case those of you who missed them might also find them helpful.Someone in the course started a Study Guide in Google Docs which anyone can edit -- it's extremely helpful because it simplifies the main points and important terms from each of the lectures so far. I highly recommend having a look at it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eL3s09yNcsw-RMRl99I09ySk1pAKfUOrIy-aWuOy3F8/edit#Spike notes: "It's been great to review that after the videos, people have done a great job at putting together what mattered and it's much faster than re-watching a video to reinforce the important concepts." --- Damn straight, Spike.Another very helpful Courserian posted a link where you can download the entire textbook in as a PDF for free. It's obviously not entirely legal, but if you don't have a copy of the book, it's a great resource for clarification and expansion of the lectures, and is full of exercises which you can do to enhance your retention of the course material. You need a BitTorrent client to download it, so if you don't have one or would rather not download one, I'm also including the PDF itself as an attachment in this email. That's probably the easier way, actually, but just in case, here's the link to the torrent: http://kat.ph/understanding-arguments-an-introduction-to-informal-logic-bbs-t6024742.htmlAnd here's the link to the Meetup page for our next meeting, which will be on Monday, January 7th at 7:00pm: http://www.meetup.com/Coursera/San-Francisco-CA/849682/Hope everyone's enjoying the holidays and look forward to catching up next month!Cheers,Tracy--

Hope you are feeling better soon!
Spike, since I am no where near caught up and will have a lot of ground to cover, I think it's best to skip the meeting tonight and re-group later.

I'm working Thursday night, unfortunately. But I think you have the right idea, to cover some of the earlier chapters for now. We're all behind schedule so we shouldn't kid ourselves that we'll be discussing the latest lectures by tomorrow, but I do think it's helpful to bounce ideas off each other. I'll be at City Pub tomorrow regardless, barring continued stomach issues.

Just came back from Mexico last night so it sounds good that the meeting is not tonight. Also, I'm way behind with the lectures, like 3 weeks behind. I'll try to catch up as fast as I can for our next meeting.
See you soon, and Tracy, get well soon!

Sorry to hear that Tracy, no problem at all, hope you feel better.
Rescheduling works for me, gives me a little extra time to finish week 6, I'm only half way (speaking of which, first lesson on week 6 is hilarious, the guy is a genius).
Should we maybe do on thursday? that gives gives you a few extra days to recover, Tracy, and to all of us to catch up. Otherwise if we wanna try for tomorrow and thursday to go even with the lessons that works for me too, but I don't know what everybody's schedule is and if two meetups in a week is too much.
Tracy, wanna send a msg on the meetup board in case someone was planning to show up and is not on the list and cancel the event?
thanks and you all take care,
Spike
