Recommendation on computer purchase for JSchool students (updated 4/6/10)
by Robert Stewart, Director; Professor
Two years ago I wrote a post outlining my recommendation regarding laptops for students entering the JSchool. I want to update that post, and include a link to the university’s technology page that includes a bit more detail.
I get a lot of questions about what computer and software to bring to school. I’m going to use this blog post to make the official “Prof. Stewart” recommendation, but that should not be confused with an official policy from the JSchool.

On getting ready to be a freshman Bobcat
by Robert Stewart, Director; Professor
This past year I had a facebook group for the freshman class. I didn’t use it to “friend” students — which seems to me to cross some important boundaries (call me old fashioned). Rather, I used it to post announcements and news, send messages to all group members, etc.
Problem is, not every freshman wants to use facebook, so I ended up having to email all freshmen each time I sent out a message to the facebook group. Double the effort for no particular pay off.
