If you haven't completed these items ...
Web sites posts -- I need an individual post from each of you with links to your favorite Web sites or those you go to on a regular basis. Look below for examples from the students who have completed these posts. Please don't merely "comment" to an existing post. I want a entry from every student.
Mid-term assignments -- If you have not turned in a mid-term assignment and have plans to pass this course, please see me. An F at mid-term doesn't mean you will get a C if you complete the final project. You could do better or you could fail altogether. The final project will stand on it's own and I will factor in class participation. If you are at least slightly unsure if you will pass, I suggest you speak to me as soon as possible.
Class participation -- There's a lot of flexibility in this class. Your participation in class discussion or in blog posting can only help your overall grade in the class. If your projects are strong enough to stand alone, class participation might not be needed. Attendance is nice, but if you show up and play solitaire for 50 minutes this will probably not help a "grade on the edge." My definition of participation is adding something to discussion -- verbally or written.
If you are unsure about where you stand in any of these areas, please contact me.
