Overview

Let's go through what people think they're doing this semester. Let's go through the process of putting together a syllabus.

To differentiate this from a survey course, and get some background out of the way, we might want to prepare (for each topic)

• Briefing paper to get people up to speed
• What are the questions at the frontier that remain unresolved?

In general, things (readings etc) should be locked down by the start of the preceding week's class. (Ex: if your date is Feb 9th, readings should be locked by Feb 2nd.)

Things to consider

• How do we Deploy Our Guests? (Operation: Deploy-A-Guest)

Technologies to learn about
