Santiago+Roncancio+-+Assignments

Santiago,

This is your personal page on my WIKI. I will put everything that you need to give me here. Check it regularly.

You are free to change and edit the page. As you finish the assignments, post the completed work as a file in the table in the column **Direcly next to the assignment**. Please give it a file name that starts with "Santiago". It can be up to 20 Mb in size, so even sound recordings should be ok. If you can't post something (for example, a picture you drew by hand), then make a note on the page that you did it, and hand it in to me when you are back at school (or scan it and post it). Everytime you post something, please drop me an email so I can check it over and give you feedback. If I post new things for you to do, I will email you as well. Please **don't keep all the assignments as you do them and then post them all at once on the last day.** I need to see your work **as you do it** so I can let you know how to improve.
