Today is Thursday of WEEK 12 of the class. If you have not turned in your Week 11 Storybook assignment yet, you may still do that BEFORE NOON TODAY for partial credit. For
those of you in Myth-Folklore, Thursday morning, until noon, is
the grace period if you forgot to do any of the assignments that
were due on Wednesday.
Storybook stack. There
are still quite a few assignments in the Storybook stack. If you turned
in your assignment on Sunday, you should have comments back from me
now. Assignments turned in on Monday, or on Tuesday or Wednesday are
probably still in the stack. You can check the contents of the stack to make sure I have received your assignment.
Mix and match points. (repeat announcement)
Now that there are less than four weeks of the semester left
(rest of Week 12, plus Weeks 13-14-15), you might want to plan to
do some "mix and match" in terms of just which assignments you
want to complete this semester to get the points you need for the
grade you want to get (you need 410 points for an A, 360 points for a B
and 320 points for a C). So, based on the assignments you enjoy
most/least in the class, you can certainly skip some assignments,
provided that you end up with the points you need at the end. My
only recommendation is that you do this cautiously. You don't want to skip so many assignments that you end up not getting the points you need for your desired grade.
Thursday Events on Campus. There will be a screening of the movie Captain America at 6:30PM in 235 Wagner Hall as part of the History of Science Association "Superheroes and Science" Film Series (time/location/details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
Thoughtful Thursday. Here is a little diagram to ponder this Thursday. It is by Jessica Hagy, who does wonderful things with tiny graphs and charts of all kinds. This item comes from a collection of 40 such diagrams in a Forbes article entitled: 40 Things To Say Before You Die.
