This is the trailer which explains why we are doing podcasts, and lays out the changes I have made to simplify the class and (hopefully) resolve some questions. The highlights are:
1. The Exam 2 closing time has been extended to Tuesday 3/17 at 11:59PM. However, I will allow you to drop your lowest exam score at the end of the semester, so if you can't complete it by then, it will not hurt your grade.
2. All points Extra Credit through 3/27. We are going to simplify the assignments (lecture questions, discussion, lab) into just one Canvas quiz per week - there will be one 20pt quiz on Canvas each week, which must be completed by Friday at 4:30PM. For this coming week (3/16-3/20) and next week (3/23-3/27) ALL POINTS ARE EXTRA CREDIT. Again, all points from now until Friday 3/27 will be for extra credit only.
3. If you completed the take-home discussion which was distributed prior to spring break, it will be extra credit. You are not required to complete it. There is a Canvas assignment open where you can upload scans or pictures of your completed sheet for extra credit points.
Hang in there guys - I know this upcoming week will be a major transition. Please let myself or Leanna know if you have any questions or are experiencing ANY anxiety about this class. We are happy to work through any issues with you to ensure your success. Be kind to your neighbors, be safe, and be well.
