Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. If you turned something in on Sunday, you should have gotten comments back from me by now. I will read and reply to all the Week 7 projects in the stack today, and I will get through as many of the Week 8 and Week 9 projects as I can. Meanwhile, you can always check the stack to make sure I received your project. Anything left in the stack at the end of the day today will be at the top of the stack for Monday.
Spring Break. Yes, Spring Break is coming! The way that works is that during Week 9 (next week), there are the usual Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday blog post assignments on March 10-11-12. Then: Spring Break! So the end-of-week Week 9 assignments aren't due until that weekend after Spring Break: March 22. However, I would urge everybody to get ahead this weekend if possible so that you can finish all the Week 9 assignments before the break begins. That way, it can be a real Break! :-)
The following items are for fun and exploration:
