ReplyDeletePlease make an announcement to the class (both) that everyone should try to comment on everyone elses. They should scroll through the topics listed in my comments and start with the most interesting to them. Also, remind everyone that I require an image from the stats (like you did) in the rubric. Please announce this. I have to miss class again (my daughter needs to have some tests done). Thank you!
