Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. As usual on Monday, the stack is huge! I will start with the assignments turned in on Friday, and then I'll move on to the assignments turned in on Saturday. While you are waiting on comments back from me about your Project assignment, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
Semester Progress. The class is now 20% over (incredible but true!), so you might want to use this Chart to check how you are doing. The chart lets you see the totals week by week so you can gauge whether you are on track for the grade you want to receive. If you are not on track, just make sure you do more of the assigned work, along with some extra credit to make up any assignments you might have missed.
Extra Credit. If you are looking for something motivational to start your week, you might want to try a Growth Mindset option; you don't need to wait until the end of the week to do extra credit; you can do that any time! Find out more in the extra credit section of this week's assignments.
