I hope you’ll post/link to the syllabus here when you have it.

I am in Boston… hope to catch up with you while you are here during the summer. As a Brit, it sounds a little strange to learn that the Oxford Institute program is being held in Cambridge… or even that it’s spelt “program”…

And I wonder how much does it cost to audit such a course at UNC…?

Good question from Cal - who can get credit for this class. Here is the answer:

A course numbered as INLS 490 range allows both graduates and undergraduates
to take the class. It will cound toward the masters degree. Anything 400 to
699 is considered a graduate/undergraduate class. Anything below 399 is
strictly for undergrads and anything above 700 is for graduate students
only. If the course was numbered 890 then it would only allow graduate
students to take it. Hope this clears things up.

Hey that’s great news. Pop on up to Vermont for some peace and quiet if you have the time.

ooh, fred – i’d really like to see the syllabus once it’s ready for public consumption!

with a class like this, i highly encourage hands-on stuff (as you mention). letting students use the tools is one of the best ways to help them understand the tools.

sounds like a great course.
