SCICU Lesson 3 comments & grades
Dear Social Computers,
Hello. This is just a quick note to let you know that I have left teacher comments and your grade for Lesson 3 on your e-portfolios.
Also, I really enjoyed reading your answers to Barabasi. While I did not comment on your Barabasi answers, for grading purposes I have updated my records to show that you had done this activity (or not). If you do have a few minutes to spare, I can recommend reading through some of the excellent answers your classmates have done.
All the best & see you next Monday.
Owen.
