Starting tomorrow we will have a note taker in class. This person is to take notes during their scheduled time. After you take notes you are to type them up and post them as a comment to this blog post. That way if you are absent you can look at the notes from your classmate. How you take your notes is up to you. This is for a grade and is to give you practice as you keep visiting your site.
The first person takes notes from 3:30 to 4:05. The second person takes notes from 4:05 to 4:40. Keep track of time as you take notes

Observation notes
Caswell began class with talking about how the ice storm is outside. Students began telling stories of their experiences outside. Spring break was mentioned, and everyone seems excited. We pulled up our schedules on the computer and she discussed what she wanted for our projects. Students continued talking while she was talking. Some students seemed distressed about having their final draft due the Tuesday after break. My classmates had lots of questions.
The screen wouldn’t work and Caswell seemed annoyed. She begins discussing the outline. Students were confused about the lit. review. Everyone seems a little confused about it; they ask a lot of questions over it. People were asking for a sample lit review, and Caswell explained that we could go over it during our meetings. We then discussed our research proposal. We then told to use our blogs to help with our research proposal.
