    IT'S TIME FOR THE 2008 READ THE BOOK CHALLENGE

    Sign Up Begins In This Thread
    October 3 thru October 11
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Reading Challenge and Assignments
    will begin
    October 12
    We will be using the 2002 Edition



    The Challenge this year will concentrate on Induction and an overview of OWL. It will take 2 weeks to complete and you will be required to post assignments on a daily basis or as it is given.
    Assignments will not be previewed but will be given at the appropriate time.



    October 25 will be the Challengers final posting day to report/post any missing assignments and my day to finish my spreadsheet work and get the award winners list finished. I will not be able to accept assignments via private message and I will not accept late posts.

    Please refer to the Read The Book Challenge calendar for sign up dates and challenge start and end dates.




    RULES:
    Your first assignment is to read the rules of the challenge and understand you are committing to start and finish the challenge if you sign up. Please read the rules prior to signing up.
    You must sign up in this thread and commit to reading the assigned chapters and/or sections of your book as scheduled, you must do the required assignments and you must post during the 2 weeks to report and/or post assignment[s] done. We will use the 2002 Edition of the book. *Others editions will not qualify for the challenge*
    You may ask questions and you can make comments, as they pertain to the book, while we progress through the required reading. We will use this single thread throughout the Challenge.

    _________________
    I will guide the challenge along with the help of several other Moderators.

                        i hope it does all of us come good! i know, just going through the induction stuff and coming up with assignments has been a refresher course for me.

                          Sign me up please! I'm a STAC-er and was planning on re-reading it anyway (it's been 5 years), but nothing gets the OCD side of me going like having scheduled goals and accountability. LOL!
