Journals

In this course, you will maintain a journal that chronicles your progress throughout the course. Your journal should include the hours you've worked, descriptions of progress / setbacks, and any other information you'd like to share!

Note that your journal will be worth a significant portion of your grade, so make sure to keep it updated.

Insert a link to your journal here (we included 2 examples from previous years). Include contact information and relevant background. Additionally, here are the journals from last year's class. To set up your own journal, follow the follow these instructions:

    • To add your journal, open this page in Edit Mode, go to the menu on the right, click the "pages" tab, then navigate to Course Homepage>Journals.

    • Hover over the option, and you should see 3 dots show up. Click those, and click "Add subpage". To add an extra section of text, double click the webpage.
