FRIDAY 9/14

IC101
Today: We continued with our introduction presentations. Great job to everyone who went today. We also started an initial conversation about the civic engagement project, and talked about the potential of doing a group project where we would create a video based on what it's like being a 1st semester freshman at FPU. Give it some thought.

Homework: You Goals/Expectation Essay is due on Monday. Have fun with this, be creative, and give it a lot of thought. Don't restrict your writing to the parameters of page length. I really want to read about your goals, why they are important, and how you plan to achieve them. I will be looking for time & effort put into this assignment. In addition, for discussion on Monday please bring a list of 6 college goals. 3 goals you hope to accomplish this year, and 3 goal you hope to accomplish by graduation. Enjoy the weekend!

IC212
Today: We took Quiz #1 and you stumped me on the Seinfeld trivia extra credit question. Nice job Hope. Damn the Bubble Boy. We also discussed why you cannot manage all employees the same. We discussed how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applies to management techniques, and how a managers job is not to "manage" people but to lead them.

Homework: Read & be ready to discuss Chapters 9 & 10 from Drucker. Just for Jen, I will work sports into our conversation. We will also divide the groups up for the group presentation next week. We will have 4 groups with 4 members in each group, so continue to give some thought to how you would like to pick the groups. Also, don't forget that your research paper proposal is due in 2 weeks. You should be narrowing down topic choices by now. Come see me so we can discuss your ideas. I want to be able to approve everyone's topic on 9/28. Enjoy the weekend, and if you don't have any plans and find that you are bored go bike 100 miles.
