Don't forget to include your connections and relationships, which are key components of the class notes requirements, so not-pass for now; however, once you include these things, your notes should be fine!
ReplyDeleteHey Tom! Good organization and concision in these notes. Pass for now, but again, PLEASE remember outside connections! (See Class Notes Nov. 15-23 for comments about outside connections).
ReplyDeleteGood organization and rephrasing of the notes into your own words. The only thing that worries me is that you don't have any outside connections. Thus, I will only fail this one entry. If you just add the connections, then everything else is great!
