November 12

Today in class, Dr. Preston gave us sort of an outline of the upcoming weeks before the end of the semester (which, as you can see from our handy-dandy calendar, include this week, next week, a two day week [thanks to Thanksgiving {no pun intended}], Dead Week, and Finals Week-- really not that much time!):

• we're going to be doing a lot of collaboration in our groups (explaining the seating arrangement)
• ...that includes a mindmap information flashmob! (a side note on mindmaps: if you're interested in viewing my humble creations, see my blog posts here)
• also, there will be three parts to the final:
1. during Dead Week, we will have an essay final.
2. also during Dead Week, we will have a vocab final covering all the vocab words. In the meantime, we'll have a couple review tests to prepare, but no new lists.
3. as for the actual finals period, we'll all put together presentations on what we've learned this semester, in what areas we've improved the most, etc. (Dr. Preston says info will be coming soon)
