We have missed FOUR classes, so you need to have seen four videos [CORRECTION: two videos - thanks Gena!] and taken about a paragraph to half a page of notes about each. Collect those notes together, and have them ready for me to eyeball, NEXT Tuesday. We'll remake appointments to discuss your papers, and meanwhile you have of course! been very enterprising about developing these! DONE
