Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. There were still some projects left in the stack on Friday, so those will be at the top of the stack on Monday.

There are so many good stories out there!
Finishing up the class. A few more people finished the class last week, which is great to see. It's always nice to finish this class early if you have end-of-semester stuff to do in other classes, especially with the Thanksgiving break coming. I'd urge everybody to make a plan for finishing up, and if you have any questions about that, let me know.
