IMPORTANT
- Submit ECM and finish page by Feb. 9 midnight
- Do peer review of topic page and ECM by Feb. 11 in class (8.30 am) This is an individual mark and ensure comments on both the topic and ECM are in the discussion tab of the page. Signing it shows how well each member is working or that it was done. You can split it up or do as a group - ensure I see a signature if individual or "done be group ----names----". If you have concerns about group members not pulling their weight, please discuss with the instructor.
- Review your ECM and page and resubmit by Feb. 12 midnight
- If you need to make an appointment to see Kadra, she will be available only by appointment on:
Feb. 11th 2:30 - 4:00 pm, Feb. 12th 1:00 - 3:30pm
- Marks and comments will be available in class after marking on Feb. 17th and Feb 18th. Ensure at least one group member is there.
