[Itech] Summer Linguistics classes

[Greg Kessler]

Hi All,

If you intend to take one of the two Summer CALL classes you need to
register soon. I have spoken with many of you and signed many pink slips for
these classes, yet few people have registered. Due to budget cuts the
college is now threatening to cancel these classes if there are not enough
students. We need 10 students and there are currently 4 in 415/515 and 3 in
416/516. This threat has happened in previous years, but the classes have
always been offered once people actually register. This Summer we will be
experimenting with the use of the iPod Touch in both of these classes and
each student will have one to use throughout the duration of the class.

Please email me if you have any questions.

Here is information about the two classes.
