Hi everyone,

I am still grading. You'll get your final grades over the next few days.

Thanks and hope your finals went super well.

I've decided to extend your revision option until Monday at 6 pm. Please turn in this assignment no later than 6 pm Monday. Remember, it is an optional assignment.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO EMAIL ME YOUR FINAL PRESENTATION (BOTH VISUAL AIDE AND PAPER)!

Week of Nov 2-4

Dear students,

On Wednesday, Nov 2, you will be visited in class by Career Services, who will be talking to you about some of the possibilities available to you at the college. They may be running up to 10 minutes late: please arrive on time and wait in the classroom for them.

Peer mentors, please take attendance.

On Friday, Nov 4, Professor Simonian will be your substitute. She will help you as you work on your presentation projects in class. You may bring your laptops this day. You will also be discussing the drone pilots and gaming article.

Any questions? Email me.

Best,
Professor Durbin
