Welcome

The current installment of the COEC began meeting in 2007.

We are currently on a "break," for no particular reason, and many little reasons - mostly pertaining to life circumstances. If anyone is interested in calling a meeting, feel free to post on the blog, join the google group (see link below) and send an email, or contact either Nancy (nancykj10@yahoo.com) or Jesse (schroeder.jesse@gmail.com) for more information.

Dinner & Discussion


Hey guys, this week we are meeting at the Hamilton's.  For dinner we are going to have a taco bar.  We will provide the fixings for tacos (an assortment of meat & beans plus toppings and shells) and we will have a few drinks, please comment or reply if you plan to bring something to share.

For discussion, I'm actually going to dust off my bible and share one of my favorite old testament stories and make a few comparisons to a Malcolm Gladwell book I recently reread (Blink).

To make the discussion a little more interesting, I would like for you guys to take a short online test that Gladwell wrote about in his book.  If you have a tablet use this link;


PC users use this link;


If you take it on a PC you can sign on as a guest and select the Race IAT.  It only takes 5-10 minutes to complete.  You will receive a one sentence assessment at the end of the test.

We'll start with the discussion at 5:00.  If you have any questions post on blog or reply.  Call or text for my address if you need it.  


Thanks, hope to see you.

Matt

Matt,
Is there a specific test or category of test you would like us to take from the Project Implicit website?

My parents are will be town, and I'm not sure if we'll come. I'd like to. So we may be there with my parents.

Adam, you want to take the Race IAT. If you use the second link, sign on as a guest by choosing your country of residence, the good ole US of A should already be highlighted, the next screen is some sort of confirmation, click that link. This will direct you to a list of test.

By all means bring your parents. Leila is excited with the possibility of Henry "visiting my house again".

Hope to see you.

Becky and I will be there. We'll probably bring a beverage, but haven't decided yet. We might be a bit late. She gets off work at 4:30, but we'll be there.

We will be there, but not sure what we are bringing. We're rushing around today, so it may be store bought.
