Week 15 | Dec 14 - Final Exam

For your final exam, you are creating a project of your choice based on the projects we have completed in this course. Nic is creating a video. He will post it on YouTube and link to it in his blog. The rest of you have opted for webpage design. I will collect your pages on a thumb drive during the exam and Dr. Huntsberger will find space for them on the university's server. Once they are posted, I will post here where to find them as well as email you.

Thank you all for your time and energy this semester. It has been a pleasure teaching you. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
