IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WEEK 15: (repeat announcement) The final week of class, Week 15, begins today , Tuesday, May 4. Week 15 is different from other weeks, because it ENDS ON FRIDAY AT NOON. So, if you will be doing some Week 15 assignments to finish up the class, please be aware of this special schedule: all the final Week 15 assignments are due by NOON ON FRIDAY at the latest.

Grading and points. As you can see in the Grading Information page, you need 410 to get an A, 360 points to get a B, and 320 points to get a C. When you get the number of points you need, you are done! If you can let me know when you are done with the class, I will record the letter grade for you in the Gradebook so that you can be sure you are finished with everything for the class.
Storybook stack. As of Monday at about 2PM, I had read and replied to all the Storybook assignments that were in the stack, and I'll do my best for the rest of this week to respond promptly to any Storybook assignments that are turned in so that you can get the points recorded in the Gradebook. As always, you can check the contents of the stack to make sure I have received your assignment; I'll be updating the stack again first thing on Tuesday morning.
