Welcome to Semester 2!


We are starting our class together with a fun simulation exercise where students are marooned on a desert island. How will they cope??? What will they do???
Stay tuned to learn their ultimate fate!

We are working on Portfolio 3 now which is also the culminating task for the course.
Students are working through their career cruising package as well as researching and developing a "career" presentation.
They will also be creating resumes and cover letters for themselves.
We have lab time Monday-Wednesday of next week. We will then be presenting our projects to the class.
