This is the post for the week of February 19, 2018.
Notes for the Week
- Apologies in the delay in grading. I was at a conference last week, and I didn’t get as much done as I had anticipated. I hope to catch up on things soon. In the meantime, if you have a question, email me or send a message in Canvas.
- We will do things a little different next week, since it’s the week before Spring Break. I will publish all of the week’s posts on Monday, and I will add a Module in Canvas to organize the work. This Module strategy worked relatively well during the Winter session, so we will experiment with it and see how it works for us.
