class schedule, last assignment, course improvement, party

[John Harrison]

Hey class. Congratulations again on a great show. The more distance I get from the show the more I am impressed with all of you --- from your willingness to step out of your comfort zone with the class material and structure to the hard work you put into your final projects.

No class this week: Let's take Tuesday off, and no Friday lab either. The will be class next week at the Finn Building. We'll together go over each project and talk about them. At the end of Friday's class (May 8th), we'll do the tear-down and bring everything back to the CRATEL lab.

We still have our Friday show 6-10pm and Sat 1-5pm. Sat will also be our party for our families etc. Invite whoever you want and let's make it a pot-luck. Anybody have a grill they can bring to Finn? Here's a list of other stuff. It would be great if people could pick something from the list and let us all know:

• pop
• cups & plastic-ware
  
• chips
• potato salad
• hot dogs
• hamburgers (3 people could bring this, since will be the most expensive thing)
  
• hamburger buns
• hot dog buns
• charcoal and lighter
  

Also, all of you are welcome to fire up the projects any time you wish this week to show friends and family. Just get the key, fire up the circuit breakers, and turn the projects on. Most of them simply turn on or have pretty simple directions to get them going. The only exceptions are Sunrise and Moon rise. You'd have to talk to those groups' members to find out how to start them.

Your last assignment is due May 15 and this one is important: a group writeup of your final project. Details:

Finally, while not required we would welcome feedback about the class. Leave it in the "Course Improvement" category of the blog. Comment on other people's feedback as well, if you are so inclined.

-John

Ill do the cups and plastic ware

[project...@cox.net]

Ditto on the congratulations, etc! Think I told you all already how much I enjoyed your projects--I heard lots of compliments from people outside of our class, too--

Hopefully, you all will still be partying at Finn by the time I get back to town Saturday night (I'm in Phoenix this week)! If not, I'll see you all on Tuesday. Congratulations again!
