Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. If you turned in your project before 10AM on Sunday, you should have gotten comments back from me, and today I'll keep working through the Sunday items. As always, you can check the stack to make sure I received your project.
Use the Suggestion Box. If there is something I can be doing to improve this class, you can let me know, either by email or via the Suggestion Box. You'll see the Suggestion Box here in the sidebar of the blog, and it's also a menu item there in Canvas. The Suggestion Box is anonymous, and of course you can always send me an email with a request or suggestion too!
