welcome to the home stretch

Hi All,

I hope you and your families enjoyed a happy, healthy Thanksgiving, and I hope that the break gave you a chance to recharge your batteries and prepare for the end of the semester. In that spirit, I intentionally didn't post anything here, so that you could use the time to rest and catch up if necessary.

In horse racing, the space between the last turn and the finish line is called the home stretch. We have rounded the last turn of the fall semester, and now we have 2.5 weeks to end the semester on a high note.

Rather than adding a ton of work and a final project/exam, I want you to use these last few weeks to ensure that you understand the material we've covered so far, and to demonstrate your understanding on your course blogs.

We will continue the practice of writing in our journals every day, and you will post your three favorites from the week EACH FRIDAY (December 4, 11, and 18) until the end of the semester. Please continue reading the course blog each morning to see the journal topic for the day. When we meet today (Monday), we will discuss how we can most effectively use our time this week.

See you on Zoom,

Dr. Preston
