w. 43

We spent the week working on the paper. We agreed that because of the Nov. 17 trip to Gbg. and a sense of more time needed for the film that

- the film seminar will be Friday week 45 -- instead of Monday
- the last class to work on the paper will be Tuesday week 48. Note though: This now means that the Sh3 and Hi2 papers are due at essentially the same time. I think that you should definitely shoot to turn in your history paper earlier. So I'd like to discuss this in class. I don't think that turning these two assignments in at the same time is going to be helpful.

The Harvard Implicit tests
On Friday I mentioned a site where you can test your subconscious preferences: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html. When you get to the site, you have these  fourteen choices for tests. The tests try to help measure automatic preferences for one group over another - male vs. female, fat vs. thin, white American vs. Native American, dark skin vs. light skin . . .


I definitely think you'll find the test interesting.
