There are but three weeks left in the term, and a lot happening during this time.
A handy guide to knowing the necessary.

Something else to keep in mind: We are on a tight schedule these next few weeks. You might need to work outside class. If you don't have Photoshop at home, you can download the free 30-day trial of Photoshop CS3 at: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_trialdownloads
