My schedule on Thursday. I'll be out of the office most of the day tomorrow, Thursday, so if you have any questions at all about finishing up the class, contact me today.
Project Stack. Yesterday I replied to everybody who needed comments back from me in order to turn in their Week 15 Project. Today I will keep on working through the stack (which now just contains either final revisions or stories from people who are done with the class), and you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
Finishing the class. When you get the points you need for your grade (410-A, 360-B, 320-C), you are done. Just fill out the "Finished!" form in Canvas to let me know you are finished.
Evaluations. The College reports completion rates during the eval.ou.edu time window, and most of you haven't done the evaluation yet (see below); maybe you can do that today! I really appreciate your feedback, and student input on the online courses is very important. Plus, you might win an iPad!
