How did you like the lab today? Did it matter if the cards were shuffled? Were you able to take any shortcuts? Get stuck trying to go through any walls? :) Another reason I changed the syllabus was to give you a free weekend to work on the Alternative Assessment at the end of chapter 3. Lab reports are due Tuesday. Have a great weekend!!

Good job! Here’s the lecture/practice from Thursday. Pay careful attention to the smallest details – it can make a huge difference.
