This week's announcement:

Hello everyone,

In looking through the modules I was reminded how dense the week 9 is. In a live 18 week offering the we would cover this chapter in two weeks. Therefore, I am opening the module early. Don't feel you need to dive in, just know it's there.

In considering this module, the chapter and the quiz, I have decided that for this chapter you should have two attempts at the quiz.  And, as a reminder and due to the stress of online learning when many of you would chose to take at least a portion of your classes live, I do discard your lowest quiz score in final calculations. As a further reminder, if you are missing a quiz go back and submit it that way it will not default as the lowest score.

Till soon,

Anna
