Please do readings for this Tuesday's class

Hope you've had a good weekend! Just a quick reminder: as there is no seminar this Thursday, please do this week's readings for this Tuesday's class.

Looking forward to it!

Final Presentation Schedule

Instructions: Each student will have exactly 10 minutes to present their analysis. If you wish to show images or slides, you have to bring your own laptop. The content presented is basically the same as for the written analysis, but due to time constraints, the oral presentation has to focus on the most important and interesting parts. The oral presentation is also an opportunity for feedback which can help sharpen the arguments and findings for the final written version of the analysis. I strongly urge everyone to attend all the sessions. You can learn both from each other's presentations and the feedback. Please note that all sessions take place in E25-117.

The only way to change presentation slot is to find a student who is willing to do a direct swap. Both students have to email me noting the change. You can only change between Tuesdays or between Thursdays. No Tuesday to Thursday swaps, or vice versa!

Change of plan!

We will have a guest lecturer from Ubisoft tomorrow, so no keywords needed, and EVERYONE report to E25-117.

I'm really sorry for the late notice, but this opportunity came out of nowhere, and is just too good to miss.

See you all tomorrow!

Please read Shouse before Tuesday's lecture

Hi everyone,

In advance of this Tuesday's lecture, please read the Shouse piece "Feeling, Emotion, Affect." We'll be talking about it in lecture, but it won't be part of the seminar this week.

Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you!

Best -
Kaelan, TA and this week's guest lecturer
