It’s hard to believe that the semester is just about over.  I know that it hasn’t been easy, so give yourselves credit for hanging in there and making it to the end!  Just a few reminders below for tying up the last loose ends for our course.

I hope that you are all making plans for some rest, relaxation, reflection, and restoration over the next few weeks.  As I told you on Monday, my door (both literal and metaphoric) is always open, so don’t hesitate to reach out – even if it’s just to say hello and update me on what’s going on in your lives.  Wishing all of us a peaceful and healthy 2022!

• –End of Semester Reflection. You can access the form HERE.  This is an opportunity to reflect on the work you’ve done this semester and to suggest the grade you believe you’ve earned.  Take the time to do this thoroughly and in a detailed way.  If you only offer up a sentence or two to explain the grade you’re proposing, I will have a hard time accepting your recommendation.  Please complete these forms by December 20th.  I won’t be able to file grades for the class until all of you have completed this form.
• Missing Work.  The last day to submit missing work is Monday, Dec. 20th.  Don’t forget to email me to let me know that you have added something to the blog or to Google Docs.
• Analytical Research Papers.  A few of you are still completing your papers.  If you have not uploaded your paper, you should have emailed me by now to discuss plans for completing the course.  In the absence of any communication, I will assume that you have unofficially withdrawn from the course.
