\nissues, challenges, solutions, open questions.

Lootbox grading<\/strong>
\nThis is a very good read but it\u2019s optional.
\nYou can use it to compensate for a previous missing, unverified, or unsatisfactory reading assignment.
\nEverybody who submits credible reading notes on canvas, will get either an A or a B with a 50% random chance.
\nThe grade will replace your lowest grade currently on the grade book (among the ones that pertain to readings).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
