  1. I hope I'm still qualified to evaluate these notes, because I wasn't here for the material, ahahh - but some things that you should include are those connections and relationships between this material and older material/other subjects/personal experience/and more. Unfortunately, this entry does not pass for the moment; however, if you include these things, the entry should be fine!

  2. I wasn't here for these notes (Germany), so I don't know if you included everything you needed to include. What you have looks good though! Pass, but remember to include outside connections! (See Class Notes Nov. 15-23 for comments about outside connections).

  3. Pass!
    I was also gone for Germany but the notes that I see here are clear and concise and get straight to the point. Good job! However, you must remember to include the outside connections.
