- Take it easy, but keep building that paper.
- Keep drafting your Intro/Background and Problem/Significance. Pay particular attention to naming and scoping the Diversity/DEI/human element of these sections.
- Try to add a sentence or two to all the other sections, so as to outline your project plans.
- Aim to have about 900 original words (total) in your doc by Tuesday.
- I will start leaving substance-oriented comments in docs that are further along, and word count-oriented comments in docs that need it!
