1. complete resume assignment, individual, due last week

(look under "Research" then "Rubrics") and "SEF research plan" rubric
from SEF (ditto) and below for more details, individual, due wednesday
by 1pm (before begin data collection on thursday) - we will also work
on this during class on Tuesday.
3. begin pre-write for your team's CEI for the December mini-symposium
- see "CEI rubric" on our MST site and "SEF research plan" rubric from
SEF and below for more details, TEAM, due friday by the end of class -
we will also work on this during class on Tuesday.
4. read both of chapters 2 and 3 (reading assignment given a week
ago). do online practice quiz - 20 question version for each
chapter. due by Monday October 24, start of class. QUIZ - about 40
points, on Monday October 24, mostly multiple choice, you will have 30
minutes to complete 40 questions - no time extensions.
Of course, i dont expect you to complete everything today. Complete
the above items in the order given.
Tuesday -
1. continue with pre-write for chairs CEI, review CEI rubric, Q&A.
2. add chapter 2 and 3 formulas to notebook.
Wednesday - we dont meet, late start, 10:00am, only periods 1,3,5
due - prewrite for chairs CEI, electronically into your Career
Cruising folder by 1pm, individual, 40 points
Thursday - late start, periods 2,4,6 only
1. data collection for chairs CEI, in hallway, bring or wear slippery
shoes or socks, and non-slippery shoes or prepare to go barefoot.
2. copy and crunch data - evaluate hypothesis and begin completion of
write-up; complete write-up due Monday at the start of class,
electronic in your CC folder, individual, 60 points. Volunteer to
share yours, by replying to this post, on Monday for EC. We will only
need about 5 to share - so the first five to respond to this post
saying they want it earn this EC opportunity.
3. work on TEAM prewrite for mini-symposium
Friday -
due - december mini-symposium pre-write (AKA Research Plan for SEF)
1. review for Monday's quiz
2. add to formula notebook
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some hints/reminders to complete the CEI chairs prewrite and the mini-
symposium prewrite.
1. Everything on the first page of the CEI rubric is exactly what is
required on the parts A,B,C of the SEF Research Plan, just stated in
more complete and different format.
2. for the chairs CEI, you ARE NOT required to do part "D" of the
Research Plan
2a. for the chairs CEI, note that your MV is shoe slipperyness as self-
reported by the subjects (you) and your RV is time to complete the
course. To participate as a subject you are required to bring
slippery socks or shoes, and non-slippery shoes or to go barefoot.
Use this last to operationally define your MV and RV. Your "control"
will be my times on the course. Each person will need to complete
three trials for each of the two test conditions - 6 trials total - so
we will need to be efficient in our testing on Thursday - work this
requirement into your procedure. On Tuesday we will choose someone's
procedure to implement (person chosen earns EC) if one is good enough
- otherwise i will write the one we will implement.
3. for the mini-symposium prewrite you ARE required to do part "D" of
the Research Plan - you do this by merely combining all of your team
members' English annotated bibliography assignments.
4. IF your team is planning to also do SEF, then each sub-group will
need to complete this assignment as well, by October 25. And complete
the associated paperwork (very easy to do once your research plan is
complete). More on this next friday.
FYI - On Monday I will be sitting outside a doctor's office most of
the time (beginning about 9:15) - twiddling my thumbs waiting for
results of my Mom's pre-surgery testing - so after checking to make
sure that another student cannot answer your question, DO post replies
to this Post - I will monitor and reply when i can. Between 7:30am
and 9:15am I will be on the road traveling to the doctor's office - so
call during class only if really necessary - I do have hands-free,
legal operating ability.

modification to the chairs CEI - we will use the MV of: "amount of
slipperyness of shoes" based upon the operational definition of:
we will measure the slipperyness of the shoe by placing it on a smooth
ramp of painted particlebaord, lift the ramp until the shoe begins
sliding, then measure the ramp angle at when the shoe just starts
sliding, record that ramp angle as our measure of shoe slipperyness.
this measure allows us to produce a scatterplot, more like what is
required for your december project.
