Assignments

After reading through all the different types of assignments for this semester, I am most intrigued by the projects. I feel as though if will be a chance to really get creative, as business courses don't always allow. I am also interested in some of the extra credit assignments. The tech tips and wikipedia trails caught my eye the most. I have never been super good with technology so I fell like the tech tips would be a tremendous help.
