Note to students

This is a review of what is necessary to finish this course. This post will be deleted after the course is finished, on midnight Monday Dec. 9. So pay close attention.

1. Remember that it is YOUR job to make sure your assignments are represented in the assignment posts; they will be, if they were handed in on time, but if you never handed them in, they won't be. Hand them in! Midnight is the deadline. To check, click on the little tag below that says "assignments"...all of them will come up. As of this writing I have checked your e-mail and I believe I have put everything here. You check though, just to be sure. Is this as you want it?
2. Your Research Proposal is supposed to be uploaded here. As of this writing, three are not. Put them here! It's a requirement.
3. Your Final Paper, similarly, should be put here, by midnight Monday Dec. 9. Put it in the best form you can. Put everything here, including abstract (remember, we already have charts here). Do not put a title page or vast empty spaces which result from posting pages like that of the abstract, with lots of white space on them. We don't need that online.
4. Many people are having trouble putting references online, especially those that are "hanging indent" in the paper form. I also am having trouble with this. Maybe Blogger doesn't support "hanging indent." But if I can't do it, I can't expect you to do it. Put them in block form, or don't worry about it. I will not mark off on bad-looking references. Link them if you can, though, OK?
5. There is no final exam for this course. Rather, I and at least one assistant will be in the classroom at the appointed time (7:30 am MON) to remind you of what you still need and give you any help in making what you have better, before you upload it. You do not have to show up if you are satisfied with what you have here. Grading starts quickly after that, though. There can be no extensions beyond midnight on Monday. Make what you put up there the best you can do.
6. The best reports are linked to charts and surveys. In your uploaded word file, include the survey which Ms. Mangano has sent you, and any charts you need from the charts she sent you. Online, link to the survey (which is now here http://lubbockwaterstudy.blogspot.com/2013/12/survey.html) and find the appropriate charts to link to deeper in the post. You can do it!

 Then have a good break; you certainly deserve it! -Tom L.
