Many of you are learning that if you follow through with your expectations, your job becomes manageable...in other words, those who have been completing their work on time this term, are feeling like they are on track with their projects. Those of you who are not on track have a lot of catching up to do. Art may be taken home over the weekend to finish if not completed on Friday but your reading will be completed at school in your free time if not completed by deadline. Reading Project You should have all 8 quotes and explanations (drafts were to be done 2 weeks ago, so all you had to do this week was type them into your docs) and other text ready to print tomorrow morning. Then you have an hour and a half in the morning to complete the images you were working on today and when ready start putting your poster together. ** Those of you who work tonight to finish your images will have the entire time to organize your poster.
