<p>Simply put, it is a larger version of your weekly journals (750 words), but it is graded. Consolidation weeks give you the space to try something again, or finish doing something that you had to put aside earlier. This reflection assesses your synthesis of the course's foundational concepts in each module. You will critically evaluate your "wins" and "fails" in developing a digital workflow, research on your chosen historical topic, supported by evidence from your Obsidian vault notes (the memex) and a minimum of two peer-reviewed academic sources.</p>
<p>This document is where you can show me that you’ve taken my feedback and considered it and adapted/adopted accordingly. These are short documents;  they can reuse materials (suitably edited) from your journal and note entries. Show evidence by linking to your repository materials.</p>

<p>This is a straightforward answer. I have a young family, and I unplug for the weekends in order to spend time with them. That means my computer will be turned off at 5:00 pm AST. Thus, if your request is not in by then, I will not see it and will not grant an extension.  <strong>I am very strict about this.</strong> So if you need an extension, please let me know as soon as possible!</p>
