Class Procedures and Reminders
Canvas Modules. Now that Week 1 is over, I have adjusted the modules so that Week 2 is up at the top of the Modules in Canvas, and Week 1 is down at the very bottom. I've also updated the Calendar page so the current week is up at the top, but you will still be able to access the old week(s) too.
Project Stack. Some people are already turning in their Week 2 Project assignments, which is great! As people turn those in, I'll update the stack, and you can always check the stack to make sure I received your information.
Introductions. I'll keep on reading Introductions this week (and maybe into next week). Meanwhile, the randomizer is up and running for the Week 2 comments assignment; you may have already gotten some comments on your Introduction already!
