Reflections on Session 4

Students are getting "in the groove" (to use an archaic term) with the course. The discussion threads are full of insightful comments and exchanges, the current events postings are timely and stimulating to read and the mini-projects reflects significant thought by the students. Most students are keeping up with their blogs. Hey this is what graduate school is all about!

I had to e-mail a handful of students, though, for not submitting "value-added" postings but they were in the minority. They were able to post re-writes well before the deadline...but starting next week -- no more Mr. Nice Guy! I probably won't send e-mail if your posting is deficient.

There is no perfect web site (except mine :-) ) so Zillow reflects a number of flaws but represents where we are going when it comes to the web. Self reporting, integrating and re-packaging data, and collaboration are features of most new web sites.

Keep up the good work, gang! Groovy!
