HAVE FUN + don't forget to post often!

Hi Guys, Its Lauren one of your ta's. I would like to see more people posting their black and white posters. We have only seen them from about half of you. Please post and bring to class, and if you have already brought them in, rework them!! Also blogs should be posted on every other day. There should be a lot more research materials being posted(text,links,scans,photos). Even if it is not your exact topic......POST. You will love yourself for doing this later when you need to make your process book! HAVE FUN!!!!
