Diversity & Tech #14 (October 23)

Announcements

Congratulations on finishing 50% of the semester!

I aim to read all your papers this weekend and submit your midterm grade next week. My deadline to submit midterm grades is November 6. New this semester, I’ll use NYU Connect to raise β€œflags” with your advisor if needed, and to raise kudos (if it’s not too complicated).

Reminder to please review the class syllabus for the grading rubrics and policies on attendance, assignments, etc., and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for all your hard work.

Woohoo(!): field trip next Monday, October 30. For the first hour, we’ll examine motion capture and photogrammetry tech at 370 Jay Street, Room 220. For the second hour, we’ll take a walking tour of Tandon’s slavery-era history. Our guest discussant/guide will Michael Higgins Jr. of Social Justice Walks and Brooklyn Movement Center. No timed exercise or discussion that day.
