Class Procedures and Reminders
Weeks 13-14-15. As you get ready to finish up the class, you can mix-and-match whatever assignments you want from Week 13, Week 14, and Week 15. Whatever combination of assignments you want to use to reach your goal is good! (Reminder: 410 for an A, 360 for a B, 320 for a C.) You can let me know you are done by filling out the "Finished!" form that you will see in Canvas.
Project Stack. Yesterday, I replied to all the projects turned in on Sunday, and today I'll finish all the Week 11 projects in the stack, plus as many of the early Week 12 assignments as I can. Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.

This thought comes from one of my favorite cartoonists, Mollycules (Molly Hahn) of Buddha Doodles: Choose to be optimistic.
In the spirit of being optimistic, this is a short video on The Biology of Positivity.
