Week of November 9th - 13th, 2020

Monday:

Opportunity to ask questions before the midterm

Wrap up Unit 4 of the CMU material, including the Unit 4 exercises.  Email me if you can't finish it by this evening.  I plan to grade it tomorrow morning before class starts.

Remember, you don't have to do every exercise in every unit, just enough to get the number of points required for that set of exercises.  BUT . . . it is a great idea to do them all if you really want to master the concepts.

Tuesday:

I will grade the remaining parts of Unit 4 this morning

Opportunity to ask questions before the midterm

Wednesday:

Your creative task plan is due by 7:30 AM today.
