Please make sure you check the Macaulay web site for up-to-date information about building closures before coming to class on Wednesday, especially if you’re making a long trip. You can also get information about all campus closures at this CUNY Alert page.
Dr. Ugoretz will be posting any and all information on the college site, and I will endeavor to update this post, too.
Update: As of 7 AM, Macaulay is CLOSED.
5-pages of current draft for peer evaluation

Hello everyone and welcome back for the second semester of the thesis colloquium!
The updated weekly schedule is up on the Weekly Schedule page at the top right.
Lindsey’s office hours this semester are Wednesdays and Thursdays, 12-4. Please feel free to come by (or e-mail and make an appointment) to discuss any and all tech concerns!
Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, meetings at the Graduate Center prevent me from being at your last class of the fall semester– so I wanted to be sure to congratulate you all on all the work you have done thus far! I hope you’ll continue to see this class site and your individual sites as places you can continue to use and to build–add stuff here, add stuff there, really own these spaces–they’re for you! If you have any technical questions over the break, feel free to e-mail me. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you this spring.
Be well,
~Lindsey
Janet, I still don’t see your annotated bibliography on your site so please put it on immediately. Your annotations are extremely well done, with precise summaries and valuable indications of how the sources either enhance your own argument or point to complexities/complications in it. Be sure to include all access dates for online sources. I gather from what you said in class that you also now have the full citation for the sources that were incomplete.
A few notes on specific sources:
Sorensen is now dated in relation to your topic so be sure to indicate it’s context from 1994 and comment on continuities or changes since then.
Please indicate if certain terms belong to you or your source: parachute children (from Lee, Kee Hong) and Englishization (from Song Jae Jung). If these are from the source, place in quotes. If they are your terms, you might say something like this: what I call parachute children.
When you use abbreviations for organizations, always provide the full name for the first reference, for example with CECD/CERI (Chun, Seyeun and Sohwa Park).
Thought this program might be of interest to some, seeing that we were on the topic of presentation and organization the other day. Its fairly easy to use, thought it is difficult to figure out how and why to use it, at least at first.
Here’s a brief overview and video:

Check out this WIRED article on Pecha Kucha (otherwise known as fast-and-thorough PowerPoint presentations). Could you present your work effectively under these constraints? Is this a solution to the droning, lengthy PowerPoint presentation we all know and love to hate?
Watch the video at the end of the article, if you have time. I’d love to hear what y’all think in the comments!
I’m not holding office hours on 10/28 or 10/29. E-mail me if you need anything–otherwise, see y’all in November. 🙂
