plans for final three weeks

Hi Gang!

In order to get the most out of reflective work (and to ease the tension in regards to deadlines), I've revised my planning for the final three weeks (parking some readings as you see at the bottom of this) to allow for more in-class time to work on the final assignment.

Best,
Doug
