You are a creative and smart group of students, and you faced a lot of challenges this semester (including your own teacher’s!). Hey, my update in this week of finals is this: keep facing your challenges.

If you did the Final Portfolio on time, I noted that, and gave you class participation points for it! Bravo. I will grade them soon.

But.

If you didn’t make it through that home stretch, please don’t give up. You NEED a Final Portfolio to pass a class that has no Final Exam, and that’s exactly what this is. I wrote to a few of you via email. I just wanted to write here as well.  I am around tonight and tomorrow, and OpenLab allows private comments and posts.
