Survival Guide Deadlines

Hey Estudiantes:

Molly mentioned that some of you are unsure about survival guide deadlines. Here ya go:

• The "soft deadline" (Soft deadline = STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.) I won't actually be checking, but for your sanity/planning as we move onto another project phase, you should strive to have final, exhibition-ready, printed survival guides done by the End of the Day on Friday, May 3rd. 
• The "Hard deadline" is to have your final guide ready by the beginning of class on May 9th for exhibition that evening. 

So you can plan...

• You will have work time for the entire hour on Tuesday.
• You will have 20 minutes of time in class on Wednesday to tie together loose ends/ask me questions since we won't have seen each other for a bit. 
• After this Wednesday, there will be no time given in class for work on these guides. We will be working on a new phase of the project.
