Great job with the exams last week. Overall I am very pleased with how hard everyone has been working in the course and I think that work is reflected in the exam scores. No doubt some of you will want to make some adjustments to some of your study habits. There was a strong correlation between exam scores and the notebooks, so we will discuss that in class this week. But I am reassured that we now have a solid foundation in the primary aspects of the course, and this will now allow us to have some fun with the individual projects that we talked about on Friday. For Tuesday, I would like to take some time to meet with you one-on-one to talk about your ideas. Please take a few minutes to jot down some interests that you would like to explore. Don't worry if you can't immediately see how it relates to world history, I can help you with that. Bring this to class on Tuesday, and be sure to keep up with the reading.
