> Will the topics be on the site and students can sign up directly on the

> The topics are listed on the xl -sheet attached.  They will identify their

> SCHOOL X 3CS

> These are three student teams from School X, Team 1 has decided to do a

> SCHOOL X 1sl  Indigenous rights/collective rights 1st choice, TOPICS

> SCHOOL X 2cs Cultural Differences (1st Choice), Pandemics (2nd choice),

>> Dear Partners:
>>
>> It is time that we begin to have discussions regarding group
>> formation, type of group projects (service learning or case study) and
>> topics coordination both among ourselves and with our students.  To
>> get this started, I have attached last year's list of topics as a way
>> of moving forward.  Please take a look and see if there are some that
>> you would like to add.  Once we finalize this, we can circulate it
>> among our students to see what interest there is for particular topics
>> that we can then try to pair up into teams.  We will also need to
>> designate specific Partners to be the lead coordinator for each group
>> topic so that we have some means of controlling the chaos.  Remember
>> that we have set the following target dates.
>>
>>
>> Here are our Group Project Dates
>>
>> Oct 7 - Student select topics from list
>>
>> Oct 14- Groups are finalized by your Professor, if  groups are not
>> complete already
>>
>> Oct 21- Topics are finalized by discussion within the group -- what to
>> study and how the various schools / students will study it
>>
>>  Oct 28- Students outline, division of labor, students also identify
>> literature  informative for their research
>>
>>  Nov 4-  Project design complete by the group -- at this point,
>> everything should be prepared for realizing the project, i.e., the
>> overall
>> structure will be drafted, literature (al least preliminary)   will be
>> found, locations and concrete partners will be identified,   etc. This
>> marks the start of the fieldwork or research by students, if not
>> already so.
>>
>>  Nov 18- Intermediate report on the project
>>
>>  Dec 2 - Final report on the project launched on the web and presented
>> in the university class.
>> Thanks...rodneyc
