Final Projects and Final Exam Reminder

Hi all,

I’ve been absolutely blown away by your final videos, y’all should be so proud of the work you’ve done and I hope that you will continue to make some videos outside of this class. Thank you to those of you that already finished your projects and exams and to those of you finishing your projects and exams, please make sure you give yourself time today to finish! The final projects are due at 12pm today and the final exams are due at 3pm today. I need to submit grades to the college, so it is very important to abide by these deadlines. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck!

All my best,

Grant

 

Course Feedback

Hi all,

Just one last thing! Today is the last day to complete teaching evaluations and it would mean a lot to me if you took the time to fill it out (at least for this course). I know a fully remote class is not going to give the same experience as in-person, but I hope you had some fun, learned some new concepts, and composed in some new mediums. Here is the link to the evaluations:

https://blueeval.unc.edu/Blue/

Please keep in mind you are reviewing my teaching and not necessarily UNC-CH. As a grad student, these evaluations help keep me teaching, so if you can, please take some time today to fill it out. Thank you so much!

All my best,

Grant
