Hi Class,
It looks like everybody is having trouble with the annotations, so I’ve revised the due dates.
*The three annotations (posted to OpenLab) are due Monday, April 12 by class time. 30 HOMEWORK POINTS WILL BE AWARDED FOR COMPLETING A DRAFT OF ALL THREE ANNOTATIONS–THE ANNOTATIONS SHOULD BE LABLED AND NUMBERED. TO GET ALL TEN POINTS FOR EACH ANNOTATION, STUDENTS MUST INCLUDE ALL SIX PIECES OF INFORMATION (see below to review the six pieces of information).
*The conclusion will be due next Wednesday, the 14th.
The outlines below should help. Also, please refer to today’s Notepad for the examples.
