In the news this week (2 weeks ago, actually):
"F.C.C.
Blocks EchoStar Deal With DirecTV" (NYT 10/10/02) and "A
Merger Unlikely, What's Next for EchoStar?" (NYT 10/13/02) |

- In the news this week: read "An
Uphill Battle in Copyright Case" and "Debate
on Intellectual Property" (both NYT 10/14/02)
- Mid-Term schedule: unless I hear a compelling
argument within the next few days that it's inconvenient, the mid-term
question(s?) will be handed out on October 30th and answers will be
due a week later on November 6th.
- Research papers: Those of you choosing the
'research paper' option should plan to hand in a paper proposal by
Nov. 6th. The proposal should be a 3-5 page synopsis of your paper,
covering the following points:
- what is the research question you address?
- why is this an important / interesting question?
- what do you plan to do to address it? (data,
methods, theories)
- what do you expect to find?
- what will be the outline of your argument?
(Paper proposals will be returned to you with comments,
but won't be graded. Only the final research paper will be graded.)
