WRAPPING UP FINAL PROJECTS

Next week is our last class before FINALS WEEK.. so, FOR NEXT CLASS PLEASE HAVE YOUR PROJECTS IN A PLACE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT IN CLASS.

I will allow you until the week of finals to add any additional changes to your projects before turning them in to be graded.

Projects need to be handed into me on a CD or DVD with your name written on it (in some sort of a case)
***IF YOUR PROJECT WON'T FIT ON A DVD THEN WORK OUT WITH ME ANOTHER WAY TO HAND IT IN.

SO YOU CAN TURN IN YOUR PROJECT ON THE LAST DAY OF CLASS TUES MAY 4
OR IF YOU NEED MORE TIME, YOU CAN TURN IT IN ON THUR MAY 13TH (THE DAY WE HAVE SCHEDULED FOR A FINAL in my mailbox in rm213A)

SO TODAY (THIS WEEK PUT FINAL TOUCHES ON YOUR PROJECTS) NEXT TUES BE READY TO PRESENT YOUR SEMESTER'S WORK IN CLASS.
