Feb 17, 2026

 Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

  • Checking in
  • Returning Assignment 1
    • Reminder: this is the start of a conversation we'll be having about marks. If you're disappointed, or feeling shame, it's best to tell me and work together. This is often a chance for students to adjust course early.
    • All your comments and your mark for this is on Teams - both for clarity and for my own need to write interim report cards. In the future, all comments will be written, but the mark will still be on Teams
      • This is also my first chance to say: I'm sorry about my writing.
    • Reminder:
      • Review of rubrics
