Review your notes from the last few days in the same way we had the 'class conversations' about function operations and inverse functions. This is a not-so-subtle way of getting you into the habit of reviewing notes as a matter of habit and realizing that assessments are always around the corner, so its best to be proactive.
ALSO! Since you will be responsible for grading a peer's project next week, I'd like you to familiarize yourself with the directions and expectations so that you can perform your task well.
