He will only be available to quickly examine projects (under 4 minutes) to offer suggestions so students might adjust and improve their projects before the due date.

3) Good luck! Lycka Till! Buena Suerte! May the force be with you! Do your best and be sure to turn in a quality final project that will be a useful tool for future students of world history. Remember: "All things on Earth are soon forgotten except the memory left behind in the minds of men." Be sure to leave your legacy behind at West.
