Readings for Thursday and Monday
I am at home recuperating today, but should be back tomorrow. All sections should read the rest of the "Philosophy of Education" chapter up until the "Hall of Fame" section for their next class. You don't have to read that "hall of fame" part, just everything up to it. Tuesday/Thursday sections should have that read by tomorrow, while Mon/Wednesday sections should have it read by Monday.
See you tomorrow.

Important Update
I mentioned to some of you I may be out this week for surgery. I just found out today that that surgery will be tomorrow morning. Thus I will be out tomorrow and Wednesday. Please use the extra time to work on your research paper. I should be back to normal on Thursday and we will resume our normal schedule.
Please email me with any questions.

Philosophy of Education Learning Goals
This document illustrates our goals for the philosophy of education section. It will be useful to guide your reading and studying -- this document expresses my expectations of what you will learn and be able to do at the end of this section. I'll try to make one of these documents available for each section of the course.

Here is the Jeopardy game we used for our exam review. Remember that this is just a review and isn't a comprehensive account of what will be on the exam.

It's never too early to get started on your paper!
Your big paper for the course is due March 30th. I suggest you get started soon, however, so here is the description of the assignment.
On your syllabus, it says if you want to turn in your thesis (for some participation grade points and to get feedback) it needs to be turned in by February 14th. That's tomorrow! Since I am just now making the assignment available to you, you can ask me to look at the thesis anytime until February 26th.. If you choose to turn in a thesis, it needs to be typed, with your name and section number on the page. The thesis you turn in need not be perfect, just reflect some idea about the argument you want to explore in your paper. If you choose to turn in your thesis for review, you will earn 5 participation points.
Since I am pushing back the due date for the thesis, I'll push back the date for the outline until March 7th. This gives you some extra time. Your outline needs to be typed, with your thesis placed at the top of the page. You may earn up to ten participation points for an outline.
The real advantage of turning in a thesis and outline is getting feedback on your ideas, so take advantage of the opportunity.
