Welcome to BIS 400 (AKA BIS 401)

I'd like to start by welcoming everyone to what I hope will be an exciting marriage of interdisciplinary studies and digital technology.

This course is simple to describe. We will use two digital media tools, blogspot and the wiki platform, to present our original research on interdisciplinary topics of our choosing.

While I will explain the course details in class, I would like to ask everyone to check this blog regularly for announcements. For instance, I will regularly post rankings of our blogs web traffic, to monitor their growth.

For your convenience, here is a breakdown of the points given for each assignment, as well as their due dates:

200 points: Blog Entries (20 entries at 10 points each)
60 points: “Blogiography”
240 points: Wiki Articles (3 500 word articles at 80 points each)
100 points: Contribution to group wiki project
600 points total

DUE DATES:

5/13: “Blogiography”
5/17: Wiki Article 1
5/22: Wiki Article 2
5/29: Wiki Article 3
5/31: Group Wiki
