Update: The Week 14 blog commenting groups are ready to go, and you can also do the Week 15 blog comment assignment now also. No need to wait: ALL the Week 14 and Week 15 assignments are now available.
Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I've read and replied to everything that was turned in on Sunday, but there are still a lot of projects in the stack that were turned in on Monday or later this week. I'll get through as much as I can today, and then I'll finish on Friday. You can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.
Blogging comments. As more and more people start to finish up the class, the commenting gets a little more hectic, but I will have the blog commenting groups up and ready by 5PM at the latest. I'll update these announcements when they're ready!
Compressed Week 15 schedule. For those of you who will be doing Week 15 assignments to finish the class, Week 15 is a review week, and it is also compressed because of finals week. That means all Week 15 assignments need to turned in by Friday, December 11, noon at the latest. So, this coming weekend is your last weekend to do work for the class. I hope you will try to finish up early, instead of waiting for the Week 15 deadlines, and that way you can have a true "dead week" in this class next week.
