Homework
You can earn back up to half the points you lost on each quiz by creating
a markdown file in your git repo named QuizzesReflections.md.
You will earn 1 point on your cummulative quiz grade for each instance of
a quiz item reflection that includes each of the following:
- The quiz question with answer choices, including which quiz and which item it is.
- State your wrong answer and why you chose it.
- State the correct answer and explain why it is correct.

Today we will see APCSP prep presentations from Group A (Alex, Toby, and Grant), and Group F (Conrad, Sean, Lary, and Gabriel).
Each presentation should present information we have not seen before, either by sharing new resources or by digging deeper into how to best utilize resources already presented.
After that we'll have a short quiz.
