415 – latest
Finished Assignment 4 and the Bioquiz, and I put a file containing two of the more creative answers to the bonus question in eLearning, on the main page.
415 – Asst 4
8 am and I still have 5 or 6 to go. Still, I came pretty close. I will be grading all day and tomorrow.
OPAC discussion
I allocated the 5 points for the “Improving OPACs” discussion based on the quality and continuousness of contributions to the forum. Some people really engaged in the conversation with multiple posts and responses (4-5), some people made a couple of good contributions (3), some people made one contribution (1-2), and some people didn’t contribute at [...]

I will be returning comments on the bios shortly. I changed the bioquiz due date to July 24, 10pm (that’s later than it was).
415 – lab times
Okay – I changed the lab times. For both classes (Monday and Tuesday), we will meet in the lab for the first hour of class.
415 – LCC

415 – submitting bios
In the case of the bio, each student is identified as a member of a group, so only one of you needs to submit the file.
