All_
The maps that were posted in the FFAT need to be removed this weekend. I am not sure if there is a schedule for when the building will be open (anyone?), but the space needs to be cleared due to final reviews using the space beginning on Monday. Once removed, the maps need to be hung in the hall on the 5th floor with the rest of your work. Thanks!

Hello All_
Brian Alvarez is going to lead this blog discussion. You all know what to do after that. Thanks, Brian.

Since we are quickly approaching the end of the semester, we need to get a handle on the final project for the class: the mapping of Lubbock’s identity according to your interpretation. To do this, we need to be organized and it is helpful if everyone know what is happening elsewhere in the course, so you can work as a collective group of critical participants. For this post, I want you all to respond and in that response do a couple of things. See below:
.01_ Name the group members (2 or 3 people per group, no more – no less). Also, only one group member need respond.
.02_ State clearly and succinctly in one short paragraph what exactly you are proposing to map. Keep in mind, this can be input oriented. Im not asking for the answer here – just a clear question. Are you going for depth or breadth? How much of Lubbock will be mapped? What are you mapping? What does it mean? Why is it important?
.03_ Explain the basic workload and how it is proposed to be divided up amongst group members. How much will be done? Who will do it?
.04_ Respond to this post by class on Monday, following the criteria above. We will discuss proposals and give feedback as a group in class.
Best of luck.

I realize that in the craziness of last week, that I failed to initiate a post regarding the final reading installment from our first text. So, this weekend, we need to catch up in that regard. This post will be kicked off by Corey Rothermel and should be focused on the text ad visual content from Chapter 04. Same drill applies: Corey, please have the initial post up by Friday, 5pm – everyone else, responde before we meet on Monday. We’ll get this one caught up on over this weekend and then we’ll do the Tufte reading/response.
Thanks Corey, it’s all yours.
