The. End.

It's hard to believe that the class is over already, but certainly your hard work on both the essay and final project serves as proof otherwise. I've posted electronic copies of all but one of the projects (Marcus, Andrea and/or Andy: contact me, please?) below. Check 'em out.

So here's my final, official thank you for coming along for the ride this semester. It was a real treat getting to work with all of you, and I hope to see you again in the future.

Cheers!
