Announcements

• 27 Jan.: Re projects, please send e-mail to set up appointments to both Don Reiman and me. Also, a heads up: I haven't decided the details yet, but I'll be asking for a short (one or two page) written description of your plans for your project.
• 29 Jan.: I've made major improvements to the Vocabulary, including format and content as well as merging the two sections.
• 9 Feb.: I'm planning to give a quiz next Wednesday, and to ask for a two-page written description of your project plans next Friday (17 Feb.). I'll expect the two pages to have some real details; please consider if you need to meet with me again to discuss things.
• 17 Feb.: I've revised the Guidelines For Writing and Rubric For Grading Projects. The main change is there's now a section about what should be in both written project reports and proposals (like the one for Monday).
