Senior Project is essentially an independent project.
We will schedule some school days to work on it, but it is basically a homework assignment.
Bring a Flash Drive or CDRW so you can coordinate home and school work on your project.
Senior Project work may be emailed to me to save paper. I will respond via email as well.
