Attending conference

On Saturday, I will be flying to Heidelberg, Germany to attend and give a paper at the ISPI Europe (International Society for Performance Improvement). The paper is on using wikis for global collaboration. I should still have internet access to check our class and respond to email, but it may be spotty. This trip will be interesting also because I was born in Heidelberg (Jim West being a common German name ). Actually, my dad was in the Army.

Dr. West, Will you let us know when our final project proposal is O.K., or should we assume that if you don't say anything that we can proceed. -Kris

Dr. West,

Heidelberg, eh? Believe I have a distant cousin there, Dr. Rainer Nobiling. He's a professor at the Heidelberg University if my memory recalls correctly. Involved in health research, more specifically something to do with blood and the heart.

Have some good bier for me while you're there...there's a silly request...you've probably already had some by the time you read this!

Enjoy

Best,
Joe

Sounds like a good time, when will you be back in good old Macomb. I wanted to ask you about starting points for my project. I what applications I want to use but still I am unsure how I should start this project. Meaning use a website to construct this project?

Dr. West,

I hope you are having an enjoyable time in Germany! I have heard many great things about Germany, my brother lived there for 8 years and absolutely loved everything about that country. See you soon!

Kris, I hope you received my email regarding final projects. Everyone should have seen my comments when I manually graded your Quiz 4.
