Note: I will start collecting final drafts as soon as you are finished with it. Please talk with me if you think it will be impossible for you to turn this in before you leave for February break. I will work with you on due dates, but please remember that I need to get 63 of these graded by the end of March, and they take up to 90 minutes EACH to assess. The absolute last day I will accept these, IF YOU COMMUNICATE WITH ME, is Feb. 28 during class.
