Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. There are still LOTS of Storybook assignments in the stack, but if you turned something before 6PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me already. If you turned something in on Sunday evening or later, it is probably still in the stack waiting for me to get to it. If you want to check to make sure your assignment is in the stack, you can see the contents of the stack here.
Mix-and-Match. Now is definitely the time to mix-and-match assignments, figuring out just how many points you need to finish and then choosing the assignments you enjoy the most. If you have any questions as you make your plan for finishing up, let me know!
