I will award 4 points of extra credit on our first exam to each student in each of my sections of POLS 206 who completes this assignment.
Rules:
1. Hard copies of the assignment must be turned in to me by the start of each class this Monday, February 13. Late work will not be accepted. E-mailed work will not be accepted.
2. Diagrams must be hand-drawn. Photocopies, etc., will not count.
3. The assignment must be completed correctly and in accordance with these rules and the requirements indicated on the assignment sheet. I am the sole judge of the acceptability of diagrams and all other aspects of the administration of this extra credit opportunity. My decisions are final.
Good luck.

Office Hours Rescheduled
I need to attend a faculty meeting today that was rescheduled from Monday afternoon. To accommodate this, I am moving my main campus office hours from this afternoon until Friday afternoon. The time (1:00-4:00PM) and place (Evans Library) are unchanged.
Extra Credit Opportunity 1 Results
Section 502 (9:10-10:00AM) returned 37 completed problem sets. Section 503 (10:20-11:10AM) returned 72 problem sets. Obviously, neither class met the required threshold, so no extra credit will be awarded to either at this time.

Class Scheduling
Due to the flood in the Blocker Building, section 503 (10:20-11:50) was cancelled on Monday. morning. That leaves section 502 one day ahead. To re-synchronize the sections, I am cancelling Section 502 (9:10-10:00) for this Friday, February 3. We will resume with our normal class schedule on Monday, February 6 for both sections.

What do Texas A&M University, Rick Perry, The New York Times, Barack Obama, and Joe Ura all have in common? We are all on Twitter.
Twitter is a social networking website. Users may post updates or "tweets" of up to 140 characters, which are delivered to followers and included in a web-searchable index of all tweets. As a user, you can, of course, follow your friends and use the website to deliver messages to one another. More importantly, though, you can follow publications, public figures, and other people and institutions, which will allow you to connect to a world of interesting ideas and information that is customized to your interests. In other words, you can use Twitter to help content you are likely to use or enjoy find you rather than you're having to find content.
You can create an account here. You are not required to do so for the class, nor is there any kind of credit (extra or otherwise) available for doing so. This is just a thing you might find useful.
I should caution you, though, that anything you post on Twitter may be made available to others online. As with all other social networking websites, including Facebook, you should take some time to adjust your account's privacy settings to meet your own needs and exercise careful judgment about what you post online.
