@damg70 have a look through these...some pretty good ideas for Spring!

[rcrath]

@damg70 ping

[rcrath]

@drew2400 @uyenly @Marcos04 @jsuyeto Would you be willing to organize a meeting in the spring on social media and online dating? THe format is a short presentation (10-15 minutes) followed by discussion. You could work from your scalar project, and invite anyone you want from class or elsewhere to help. What would you want to get out of such a meeting? and how would you promote it to get ppl to actually show up to talk about it? David Goldberg, the coordinator for the Digital Arts and Humanities, will meet with you to plan it. He is the guy who taught the class on sampling.

Professor Rath,

I would be willing to organize a meeting in the spring with my partners. I
would like to learn about new ideas and points of view that could be
explored during a discussion. To promote more people to come, maybe I could
bring snacks and make sure to tell my friends about the topic and the
meeting.
