More reading ...
The required and recommended books should arrive from Amazon tomorrow. (Beats the beginning of the semester trip to the campus bookstore!) I have also received my first e-mail with reading assignments for the first "immersion" session, including journal articles. I'm organizing everything in Mindmanager X5 Pro. So far, my map looks like this (click for larger image):
The little pdf icons on some of the branches are hyperlinks to the articles in pdf format on my system. Haven't decided whether I'll use Acrobat to make notes on the pdf's, put the notes in a "note" entry on the mindmap branch, or link to a map with notes. I suspect a combination of notes on the pdf as I study, then a mindmap to really record and structure my thoughts. Something, along the lines of this. Especially with color and pictures -- helps me remember and review quickly.
I sure hope you are going to write a reflection piece for us every once in a while. I am excited for you.
