Morning!
As always, please watch the daily (Friday) video before the meeting (8.30) and read through this post for instructions; come to the meeting ready with your questions. I'm going to try and keep it short because, as I mentioned yesterday, I am experiencing a lot of pain due to a long-term subluxation of my shoulder joint which was repositioned a few days ago.
Today's schedule:
8.30 - morning meeting
9.30 - OSK presentation(s)
Re: Excel demos, I am going to try and film for you today using the browser software. I really apologize about this license issue and will keep you in the loop as I continue to seek solutions.

OSK: If this is the last day of your course, you have an exam! It's on ECampus. Simply click to begin. If you are in the Continuous block, these are already available to you. If you are in a dated block, I will activate the exam after our morning meeting. Please take it within class time today - it allows four hours. Note: we have a presentation happening today at the end of our morning meeting.
MSW, MSE: I will be extending the deadlines for your grades trackers because, due to the Office license issue, I have been unable to film demos for you. If you need until Monday, please take the time.
ITC: You have an exam and two quizzes on ECampus. If you are in the Continuous block, these are already available to you. If you are in a dated block, I will activate the exam and quizzes after our morning meeting. Please take them within class time today. You may take advantage of the multiple tries for the quizzes, but you must be given permission to use the retakes for the exam itself.
