Part 2 - Announcement (5 min)
No work accepted after Tuesday. Furthermore, the only thing that can be handed in at this point is your final project and its reflection. If you have not exported your final exam yet please do so NOW.

Moreover, I am not planning on waiting for people to show up after school so if you need some help please make an appointment.

Part 3 - the portfolio (45 min)
We are DMA so we should be able to help those actors and painters upload and submit their work. All of your projects should go into the online portfolio, whether or not you wish to use them for your BGP!
