week of 12 January

Hi everyone,
  This week is a quick one!  Monday you'll work on your brain research and I'll show you another TED talk.  Thursday is time to get ready for next week's midterm.  Please remember that we have AFT both Thursday and Friday this week if you need help.

  Also --  MISSING WORK????? If you have any missing work, I need it by Tuesday 20 Jan or I will not grade it.  Please check the gradebook to figure this out and speak to me if you are confused.

  Please note for the midterm:

1. It is entirely open note EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING:
     • body orientation sheets
     • alien critter
     • first page of the first test

2. If you want to schedule your exam for another time, please CHECK with me first AND send me an e-mail!

   Thanks, Ms. Leary
