[Updated: 8/27/2024]

• Just-In-Time (JIT) 1 and MINI 1 are both posted on the Homework Page and both are due by 10PM on Sunday, September 1, 2024. Please be careful to read the submission instructions so you submit each one properly. Note that the JIT 1 link and the MINI 1 link take you to the SAME file. The JIT is just the questions you have based on the research you do for the MINI. Since they are so closely related to each other, I keep the MINI and the JIT in the same file. Be sure to look this over at your earliest convenience and contact me if you have any questions.
  
  During Meeting 2 (tomorrow, 9/28/24) I will suggest an organizational strategy for the MINI document. I will also try to clarify many of the most common questions that arise, but I will not offer any specific guidance on how to do the research or the writing.
  
  ALSO note that, other than the "What is a Precis?" document linked do in the "MINI" section of the Homework Assignments page, (which you are encouraged to read a couple of times before class tomorrow), we are going to provide no guidance in how to complete this assignment. This gives me/us a chance to see where the group is, as a whole, when it comes to both writing and on-line research. More information will be provided once you get your MINI 1 feedback. You can certainly begin your research now if you wish.
  
  
• Welcome to A216 : IMPORTANT NOTES FOR FALL SEMESTER 2024: You must have a valid IU NetworkID AND be officially enrolled in A216 in order to gain access to detailed course resources like Meeting Outlines, Homework Assignments, and other such resources. If you are officially enrolled in A216 as of Monday, August 26, 2024, you should be able to access these restricted resources when they become available. For Example, the Meeting 1 Outline will be available on (Monday, August 26 SHORTYLY BEFORE CLASS) via the Meeting Outlines page. Just-In-Time 0 (JIT 0) will also be available just prior to class via the "Homework Assignments" page. Students officially in the course should be able to access these at that time. If you get the "Forbidden" message, it means I have not yet unlocked that resource. HOWEVER, if you get "permission denied" or "authorization required" it means you are not officially enrolled, or not on my access list. If you believe you are officially enrolled and cannot access these resources on or after 8/26/2024, please contact me.
  

  As always, there are a few other important things to remember. Taking the course P/F or Auditing the course is not allowed without my explicit advance permission. "Just sitting" is not allowed. This is my policy, not the School's or the University's, but it is one I am permitted to set.
