Welcome to 199 Students

We had our first meeting this week at 9:30am on Tuesday. We talked about the overall plan for the study and gave everyone homework.

Homework

There were three papers that everyone would read.

In addition, there was a stack of papers and books that was divided among the group. Some of these papers are my only copies, so please be gentle with them. For these papers, please post something on the blog about them under the category of "Books and Papers". Give the citation, a summary, your evaluation of its relevance to our project, and identify what you think might be relevant (a theory, a result, an experimental manipulation).

Also, the 199's were given some other background to research.

Justin and Teerawat: psychology and ESP/PPIG/SE
John and Derrick: programming aptitude tests and popular books
Jonathan and Matt: field study and panel of experts

Please post a progress report the day before our meeting under the
"Progress Report" category.

I've uploaded an EndNote library containing references to the various papers that we have.
Download EndNote Library
If you have a copy of EndNote, you can add to this as we go along.

Next meeting will be Monday at 4pm.
