Terrific idea… I’ll pass it on to my students and the prof teaching the “Specialized Reporting” course this semester. (Also passing along the hand-sanitizing gel just installed in our classroom. First week of school was accompanied by our first confirmed H1N1 case.)

Help?

Great idea! But, I wonder about the tight deadline, especially for us J-profs considering whether to work this project into a class. Is it possible to think of this as a semester-long project, and extend the deadline to early December?

thanks,
Steve

You can have the details here. [...]
