I was wondering the same thing but decided bring a laptop and notebook Wed/Fri (as we have LRW classes, an IT presentation, and our second brief due) and nothing Tues/Thurs (because I don't see anything on the schedule for which they would be necessary).

I read the assigned reading for tomorrow, but didn't print it out, so if I don't bring a laptop/iPad I won't have access to a copy of it except through my phone I guess. Not that I'll necessarily NEED to access that reading...also not sure how serious the exercise and lecture tomorrow are, but probably not very serious right?

It's not for a graded course, so it's not important :wink:

IMO, but seriously.

This is where being a female comes in handy. I printed out the exercise and I'm going to throw that and a small notebook in my purse. You could always print it out and put it in your pocket I guess? Either way, I can't imagine that it'll be that serious tomorrow.

I think Wednesday I'm going to bring a laptop/backpack. New silly question- Are you guys printing out your case briefs? handwriting? I didn't get the impression that we're actually turning in the brief, so I wanted to handwrite if that's the case, but I wasn't sure.

I'd say I'm almost certain they're solely for the exercise, not to be turned in. Unlike the first brief, there's no Sakai submission set up, and it's also not for a graded course. If they wanted to treat it the same as before (where lack of submission also did not matter, even so), they'd likely have simply done it the same way. I expect Blocher to lecture on it with an eye toward proper briefing, but nothing more and no collection. Personally, I'll just bring an electronic copy of my brief my laptop, which I'll have anyway for LRW that day (and because I prefer typing to handwriting; I'll be shocked if the format matters whatsoever).

I'm just gonna roll with a legal pad until Monday. The total reading is 50+ pages, which seems like a lot more than the other sections

No computers allowed in 2 classes so far (including LARW), with the others still unknown. Not looking great for my OneNote organizational plans.

The internet keeps telling me that Bojangles closes at 10, but I don't want to believe it.
