Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. It was pretty late on Friday, but I actually got through the stack of all the assignments turned in before noon on Thursday. If you turned in something on Thursday afternoon or Friday, it's in the stack, and you can check the stack to make sure I received your email. Given how weird the OU email has been acting lately, it's a good idea to check!
