Dear all,

Les and I have evaluated your term papers and also determined the final grades which are now in HISPOS.

Should you have any questions, and in particular, if you wish to know more about your term paper evaluation (and how you can write a better term paper/thesis/etc next time), please contact Les and myself so that we can arrange a brief meeting. 

Best,
Maria

Hi everyone,

We've had a couple of requests for a bit of extra time on the paper, so we have extended the deadline until Sunday at noon (Germany time). If you have already submitted your paper, feel free to revise and resubmit if you like.

Hope that is helpful,

Les

ICA Analysis

Dear all,

You hopefully remembered that we'll go though the ICA data together tomorrow (Monday 20 Feb) in class.

See you all then!
Maria

No class on Monday 13 Feb

We have started to pre-process the ICA data to put it into a form that we can analyze, but it is fairly complicated and will not be ready by Monday. Therefore, we will have to postpone class on Monday.

Unless there are any major objections, we will meet on Monday 20 Feb instead.

Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone,

I found a bug in the mapping of the critical word region to the RT_regions and fixed that. Hopefully that file now contains the correct mapping and data. We will look at it tomorrow in class...
