Other important dates:

Midterm and final reviews are individual appointments. Each student will meet with the instructor for 10 or 15 minutes. You must bring your Process Book with ALL the work you have completed up to that point for your review. Do NOT throw away any material from this class. Your grade will depend on it. Your midterm or final grades will be given to you at this session.
July 4 is Independence Day (college closed).
There is no final exam for this class, but there will be two scheduled quizzes.
