Well, you guys did a fantastic job of Assignment 2! I don’t think I’ve seen a spread of marks so heavily weighted at the top end of the scale. Congratulations on your creativity and the quality of your work. The spread of marks on this assignment was from 5.5 to 10 out of a possible 10 […]
Welcome to Week 11! Twitter chat is on tonight
I’m writing this from the past and smugly congratulating myself for remembering to schedule this post 😉 Smugness is sure to disappear when I think of all the things I *didn’t* remember to do. The Week 11 materials are up and I announced this on Twitter before the break, but I did just want to […]

In last night’s class, I talked about how to fill out the form (right at the beginning, so you don’t need to watch the whole thing to find the information). I recommend you watch the recording, but I’m […]
Assignment 2 and 3 forms and submission methods
