Week Nine refers to March 24 to 28.  I realize March 16 to 22 is vacation, but I am posting assignments for Week Nine now in case some of you want to work on future assignments over the break.

Reading:  Jonathan Chait, "The Left's New Machine" 

Class on March 24 will be in 117 BSB.  There will be no class on Wednesday March 26.  There will be no SAKAI quiz this week, instead we will work on the Netroots Project.

The Midterm Exam will be in room BSB 117 on Wednesday March 12 at 4:20.  There will be two SAKAI quizzes, one multiple choice and the other essay.  They will be closed book and must be taken in BSB117.  The items will be similar to those on the open book quizzes.

Group Presentations created in Google Documents are due before class on Monday, March 10.   Each of you is responsible for submitting a pdf of the joint presentation to the Assignment Dropbox in Sakai. Just save the presentation in pdf format, a choice on the Google Docs file menu, and submit that file to SAKAI.  (I don't want anyone saying someone else was responsible.)   You should also invite me as an observer through Google docs, but I will be using SAKAI to record the grades.

Research Paper Proposal due Monday, March 31.  Complete the following the instructions and submit it to the Assignment Dropbox.

In Class "Netroots" Project.  To be completed by March 30.  A sample presentation on Socialist Movements is available here.
