End of term

First of all, thanks so much to everyone for such a great term!  Your enthusiasm, committment and thoughtfulness each week was always appreciated.

I also think that the poster session went quite well - I was most impressed to hear students discussing what they had learned from other posters, and making connections between seemingly disparate topics.  But I have a few concerns, and I would love to hear your reflections before I attempt to do this again in another class.  Please feel free to send me an email or leave a comment here describing what you liked, and didn’t like, about the posters and the poster session.

As promised in class, you can pick up your poster marks from the 7th floor Loeb main office anytime after noon on Wednesday 4 April.  A sheet with your name on it will contain the assignment mark and your final mark in the course.

I’ll also be going to the department on Wednesday morning to hang your posters.  If you DO NOT want your poster and handouts put up in the department, please let me know before Wednesday.  I also have photos I took of your posters and would love to post some of them to the blog, so please let me know if that is okay with you and I’ll post them here as well.

So that’s it for administrative stuff, but if you have any final comments, questions or concerns please email me or leave a comment here.  Now go enjoy the summer and good luck with all your future endeavours!
