__**An Appalachia Course Mantra**__ I am an adult. I am smart and creative. I have phone, email, and internet access. I have the ability to speak and communicate. I have no good reason not to communicate often with my group members. I will communicate with my group members even if I don't particularly like them. I will help my group members with our research projects. I will participate (even if it is physically-oriented). I will participate (even if it is human-oriented). My instructors will be proud of my overall effort. I am a good geographer.

//Assuming// I get all the field data tonight from each group, I will collate your data into one main excel file for you to use. I will post the final excel file under "Field Data" on Thursday...

A reminder (esp. to KSU students) that not posting your data equates to not participating. Not participating equates to loss of attendance and participation percentage points. And a loss of percentage points may equate to a lower final grade. So get your spreadsheets done and posted tonight...

 * KSU Students!!!! It has come to my attention that you need to do a course evaluation by THURSDAY JULY 23. Yikes! I know...As you all need to meet with me this week, please make sure you come to my office by Thursday to not only discuss your projects, but complete this. This is your only opportunity to make comments about the course and course instructor.**

NOTE: I have the course evaluations [List of Questions, Form, and 2 Question sheet] located outside my office door as well; come pick one of each up, fill it out, and submit it to the Geography front desk...
