Booksale wrap-up:

• Thanks to everyone who helped
• Made approximately $2100
• Left over items go SPL or special groups

Class feedback:

• 530/540
• generally good
• 540 project seems to be me too much work too late in quarter as you do not really get big picture until week 7.
• Would it be possible to unhook project from class as a possible 1 credit course for following quarter?
• Or for smaller, separate projects?
• So little feedback for something worth so much of grade.
• Very difficult to arrange group meetings
• Class Schedules
• Why are a lot of special and once a year classes offered at same time in the schedule ex. 529 and 587
• Media Endorsement
• Not on iSchool webpage – have to go to educational outreach.
• 585 required for program, may be cancelled due to low enrollment
• 507
• group project a struggle
• would have liked more feedback at key steps in the project.
