Last Class Before Finals!

Whether or not you realize it, tonight is the last working class session before our Final, Dec. 15th from 6pm to 8pm. Be sure to come to class prepared with all the files you intend to use in your “book,” your final project. That is, everything that you have done this semester, or other suitable portfolio work.

If you have discussed an alternative project with me, be sure to bring all the files you will need for that project.

We’ll review the book requirements and I’ll work with each of you to help you prepare your book for printing.

Lecture starts at 6:15pm. Don’t be late…you’ll need all the time you can get to work on this project. It CAN be done!
