session 6 through 9 materials posted

All the learning materials for all of the rest of the course sessions have been posted this morning. I'm providing these materials early to help some of you organize your time more efficiently in terms of listening to the audio files and reading the articles. On this first day of autumn you now have access to all of the basic preparation materials for all the class sessions.

Sessions 6 through 9 represent the second half of the course. In this portion of the course, you (the students collectively) will be producing most of the learning experiences we have in terms of book conversations and blog posts. Thus, the quantity of materials I'm giving you for these last 4 sessions are relatively lighter compared to the first 5 sessions.

For Flow in Session 6 you'll have an audiobook and one article to read. For Goals in Session 7 you only have an audiobook to listen to (though it is pretty long). For Anxiety and The Self in Sessions 8 and 9 you'll only have two articles to read for each session.

My biggest caveat is that if you use any of these materials way before the actual live class meets, then make sure to jot down notes and questions. You already know what the structure of the Knowledge Digs will look like. If you read/listen ahead, you'll still need to contribute to these knowledge dig discussions when they are posted. So taking notes, or storing key questions/comments you have somewhere, will help you to participate fully in the knowledge dig discussions.
