December 3rd lesson

Dear students,
Today you will study about note taking (3.4), take an online AWL review test, and show me your second portfolio article, the deadline of which is next lesson (December 10th). If you are confident of your work, you don’t need to show me, but if you want me to check it, please ask. Also note that checking is not grading. On December 10th you should all show me a paper version of your second article and let me grade it by pen. After it has been graded, upload an identical version to the spreadsheet using the portfolio upload form.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
