Thesis Meeting Over Break!!!!

Hi guys,

I've been reading the links that everyone has posted and they are all really helpful, so I encourage people to check out Alissa's link about thesis typologies and Eric's about thesis defense.

Anyway, I know a fair amount of people will be in town this Sunday (I will!), so I think it would be great to have a meeting, especially as our final document is due the 2nd. Also, people should post about what they're having trouble with on their papers so that we can still keep in touch and keep our brains at work even over thanksgiving.

So, next meeting:

Sunday
6027 S. Robertson St.
3:00 p.m.?! (comment if you think it should be earlier or later! we thought people were less likely to be stressed during the day)

I'm assuming, but there's a pretty good chance of turkey day leftovers being served.

I'll also be e-mailing this out, but as always, invite anyone who may be interested.

Thesis Typologies

For those of us who are pondering the bigger thesis picture, the following link breaks down the typologies of the architecture thesis approach, which may help formalize the argument:

New Meeting

This is late notice but I thought we could have a short thesis meeting today. It'll be really quick since we don't have a new assignment, but since most of us (aka everyone but Jen) didn't have our presentations done for the last meeting, it will be good to catch up and quickly see what everyone presented.

Also, Jen and I have been thinking about approaching Dean Gamard about pushing back the date for the thesis paper, which is the 2nd of December. We think that since the studio date was pushed up so drastically, we should have a more meaningful amount of time without studio to write the thesis paper. The schedule right now would mean we only have the week after Thanksgiving. If we could get the date pushed back to the 8th it would give us a lot more time to work on the paper and the visuals. If everyone weighs in at this meeting and seems on board with this idea we'd have a lot more credibility. So it's important for everyone to try to show up for a little bit. PLUS sarah and I got 5 layer dip (guac! refried beans! sour cream!!)
