Preliminaries

Overview

  • Work time

Updates

News / Etc.

  • Remember the project reports are due EVERY FRIDAY at 5 p.m.
    • Make sure to include me, KY, GB, and MG in the recipient list
  • Read chapter 4 of POODR for Tuesday. (And please do it this time.)
  • About extension requests.
    • Reasonable: I got really sick and haven’t been able to work the past two days. Can I have an extension?
    • Reasonable: I need to help a friend with an emergency and haven’t been on top of my game. Can I have an extension?
    • Reasonable: In looking ahead to next week, I see that I have more things do than I can do a good job on. Can I have an extension?
    • Unreasonable: I had more things than I could do, all of which I knew about a few weeks ago. I know the assignment is due today. Can I have an extension?
    • And yes, I realize that my own delays sometimes match the “unreasonable” model, at least from the outside. (More often, I’m dealing with something like the second one.)
