Hopefully all of you have been getting emails from “bspace.” For those of you who have no idea what bspace is, it’s software designed to help manage different aspects of the course. We will primarily be using it as a way to keep an online gradebook, upload various resources, and sending out announcements.

Accessing bspace

Go to http://bspace.berkeley.edu.  At the top-right of the page, there should be a place to enter your Cal ID and your password. Then you should see tabs across the top. Look for the one that corresponds to our course.

Summarizing bspace announcements

From this afternoon on, you should have received 3 announcements from bspace, all of which were sent to the email address that the school has on record for you (NOTE: this may not be the email address that you gave us in the questionnaire… so check your other accounts).

• Megan sent out information regarding Friday’s class
• Dan posted the group assignments to the “Resources” section and this sent out an email to everyone
• Dan followed this up with another email with additional details
• We have posted the grades for Quiz 1, which you can also access on bspace.

So, go look for these in your inbox!

Research projects

Remember to spend a bit of time on your own coming up with some project topic ideas to bring to your first group meeting on Friday.
