Land+Week+17

Hello to all and welcome back. I hope you had a wonderful break. Let us put down the computers and do some good old fashioned show and tell. This will mainly be telling. I would like everyone to be able to share one small part about their vacation. There is a list on the board to help spark some thought or memories.
 * Tuesday:**

Now we are going to get back to our Element House Design Project. To get started I want to review what is expected for the project and lay out what the rest of the semester looks like to you. Here is the plans in case you have lost your copy,

We are all at different places along the design project. But, by January 18th we all need to be complete with the project. This will act as our class final. Today you should be starting on your Google SketchUp Model and have it done by Friday. Keep in mind, at this stage of the game you could be working on multiple parts of the project at once. So, if you tire from the computer you can work on your Final Schematic or your Final Presentation Keynote. The same will be for the rest of this week and until Wednesday of next week. Lots to get done, so let's get to work. I am really looking forward to what you come up with in this project.

Here is the link to the Student Critique on the Music Garden Project. Your peers were nice on the grades but hard on the numbers. I felt most crits were honest and fair.

 * Thursday:**

Today is a work day. I will be circulating to help you work on your projects. I would recommend you focus on your Final Schematic Design as you can easily work on your Google Model or your keynote over the weekend.

Please do not let next Friday sneak up on you. Work hard now and over the weekend so you can have next week to put together an awesome preso together.
