JOURNAL #2: Multiples

I hope you enjoyed the essay about Multiples. In a final response to Malcolm Gladwell's essay, please reconsider the 3 anecdotes throughout the essay: Myhrvold and Jack Horner / Bell and Gray / Myhrvold and Intellectual Ventures (I. V.). On this week's blog, tie these three anecdotes together into one unified summary about the essay. I will review the best summaries in class next week in preparation for your demonstrations.




I'm looking forward to reading. Please remember to include your name and ID in your post and please submit it by Sunday night. Aj. M

JOURNAL #1: What is your inspiration?

This isn't a simple question. We have to do many things everyday, and for all of those things, there may be different things that inspire us, motivate us, and push us to do our best.

What is your inspiration for getting up in the morning? Is is a bird singing outside? Is it the idea of a fresh cup of coffee? Is it your mother yelling at you because you're late for class? You may consider your many inspirations for the big and little things in life that take you from one day to the next, from on year to the next, and from one goal to your future ambitions...

Share your thoughts. Journal #1 closes at Midnight on Sunday, February 19th. Don't forget to include your Section # and ID # in your post. Aj. M

Welcome to ERS students in my class! I'm looking forward to this term together. In order to make this class as interesting and as useful as possible, your participation and interaction will be important for a successful term. From time to time, I will be assigning to you Journal responses to what readings and discussions in class. In order to save a few trees and to make our conversations open and public, I will ask you to post your Journal responses to this blog, and we can continue the dialogue online. If you're shy or nervous to speak in class, I hope you will participate here.


For every post you make, make sure to include your Section # and ID #. Good luck in the term! Aj. M
