JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes are a video]


What is it about tests?  They can motivate us and help us prove our knowledge and skills, or they can fill us with anxiety and seem pointless or even insulting.  However we feel about tests per se, ultimately practitioners of every sort are rightly expected to be able to demonstrate what they've learned.   What sort of "test" do you need to pass to prove your worthiness in your Masterpiece field?  How have others in the field proven themselves?

AGENDA:
1. Journal/collect Brave New World essays
2. Correct midterms
