Dear Students,
Due to events beyond my control, I have been stranded in Pittsburgh until tomorrow afternoon. (My flight to Buffalo was cancelled this evening.) This means that we cannot meet as a class. I apologize for this, and will do my best to make sure that you receive the necessary course instruction during our other two meetings.
Please do the following this week and in the upcoming two weeks:
1) Look over the March 19 agenda.
2) Download the PowerPoint presentations on the agenda and read over them. Prepare any questions that you might have for the next class.
3) Download and complete the three cases (Information Hoarding, Spanning Boundaries, Implementing A Change) and e-mail the deliverables to the instructor. For the case that asks you to work in groups, please complete it individually and send the instructor the PowerPoint presentation that you have created. You should be able to get into the 105 computer lab at noon if you would like to stay on campus and work.
4) Please complete the reading and writing assignments (minus the O’Rourke chapter) for our next meeting on April 2nd. When we meet again, we’ll conduct our meetings and conference calls and catch up on what we missed as well as moving on to the next set of topics.
Thank you for your patience. I hope to return graded assignments to you by email in the next week.
Sincerely,
Dr. Karper
