Week 15 – 7158

Hello class,

Tomorrow is our final class. I would like to collect a final digital version – PDF – of your booklet. For extra credit you can print them out and bind them as I showed in class last week. We will have a short quiz on the vocab words listed below. Good luck! One more day and you’ve made it through the semester. After the quiz it should be a celebration!
