Class Procedures and Reminders
Assignment Stack. As always, you can check the stack to make sure I received your Project assignment; I'll be updating the stack periodically over the weekend. I replied to all the project assignments turned in before noon on Thursday, and on Monday I'll start responding to the assignments in the order they were turned in. So, to get comments back sooner rather than later, turn in your assignment today — if you wait until Sunday to do that, you'll have a longer wait for comments back.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
