This week, we take a little breathing room: Fall Break. Hopefully you can use this time to relax a bit and to catch up with friends, family, life, and classwork.

We are not meeting in-class this week. Each group should select a time for their group conference via Zoom with me to go over your CA proposal (learning goal) and your KWHLAQ chart.

-- Dr. Prielipp

(This week's quote is attributed to Charles Darwin but there are questions about the veracity of this attribution.)
