Class Cancelled - Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Hi everyone,
Right now SVSU is closed until Noon today due to inclimate weather.
I don't know if they will change this to the entire day or not, but If you are planning on driving in to come to class at Noon -- Don't.
I will post all of the details about the Final Exam and how to prepare for it on our class weblog. I will send you another message when the materials are online.
If you have any questions on anything or need help finishing up your screencast or blog project, please send me an email, and I will try to help you that way, or we can schedule a time to meet in the STC.
Drive safely and keep warm!
