Class Procedures and Reminders
Success Tip: Make your end-of-semester plan. Hopefully you will be able to finish the class this week, but you also have Dead Week to make up points you missed in previous weeks. Now is the time to make a plan for how you want to finish, creating a list of the assignments you plan to complete to finish the class. You can see if you are on track with this Progress Chart.
Project Stack. As always, the stack is big on Monday! 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.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. Once of the cool things about online classes is that students can participate from far away... and this semester, Kelsea is doing Study Abroad in Germany. Here's her post about a soccer match she attended at Commerzbank Stadium in Frankfurt.
Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is from one of Aesop's fables: A lion may be beholden to a mouse. Find out more at the Proverb Laboratory.
Writing: Here's an interview with one of my favorite punctuation marks: Interview with a Semicolon.
