Since we are halfway through the quarter, Sara and I would like to provide you with the opportunity to anonymously give us feedback on how we're doing (positive, constructive, or otherwise). Here is the form - it will remain open for the rest of the quarter.
As stated last week, we are connected with a team of MFJS students who are willing to help make your stories multimodal. If you're interested in being featured in their podcast, let me know.
We'll resume virtual Zoom meetings next Monday at 6pm.
