Hang in there• Murphy's Law was written for all types of creative work and

technology. • It's so simple to ruin a project through no fault, or by a

moment of carelessness. • Avoid despair. Just do it over or make the needed changes. • There's no penalty to your grade so long as you prearrange

a deadline extension (no extensions past the end of the term).

• Grieve but avoid despair; it happens to your teacher and everyone else too.

• Mistakes are great teachers when we are open to learn and improve from them

ENJOY AND LEARN!
