+1. Make a table that compares and contrasts the unix file system to git *as* a file system on at least 5 aspects (eg header + 5 rows) in `filesystem.md`. Based on this, write a definition of a file system generally and how knowing that these are both file systems helps reinforce concepts and improve understanding.
+1. In `whypointers.md` write a blog-post style argument for why understanding pointers as a concept is important for a computer science student even if they will not work directly in a language that uses pointers.  Consider your audience to be a student who is in CSC212 and struggling. Use two examples from this class where we relied on the concept of pointers to explain how something worked.
+1. Reflect on how thise course impacts programming/debugging skills in `skillup.md`.  You can write this as how you think your own skill has improved **or** as if you are convincing another student to take this class. Touch on at least three topics.

+# How does all of this work together?
+
+
+## Contract Checkin
+
+
+
+Create an issue on your grading contract using the following as a template, use the title, "Contract Checkin"
+
+Edit so that it applies to you, including deleting any sections that do not apply to you.
+```
+I am (not) on track to complete my contract as agreed.
+
+
+I plan to (catch up/ revise my contract / take an incomplete).
+
+To revise my contract I will:
+<!-- consultation is optional -->
+- [ ] attend office hours to discuss options
+- [ ] submit the revised contract as PR by the contract revision deadline of December 12.
+
+
+To catch up, I will:
+- [ ] request a review from @brownsarahm and @m-bowen in all of my open PRs by 7pm today
+- [ ] attend office hour on (dates)
+- [ ] complete (items) by 12/6 at 3pm
+- [ ] complete (items) by 12/8 at 5pm
+- [ ] complete (items) by 12/13 at 3pm
+- [ ] complete (items) by 12/15 at 3pm
+- [ ] complete (items) by 12/19 EOD
+
+To complete work after accepting an Incomplete grade I will:
+- [ ] complete all activities in my contract by (date)
+
+I have the following questions about my grade/grading in this course:
+
+- [ ] q1
+- [ ] q2
+```
+
+Assign @brownsarahm on the issue so that I can get to it easily.
+
+Please *also* copy & paste your questions here on Prismia so that I can answer common, general ones in class. I will answer personal ones on the issue
+
+##  IDEA
+
+If we hit a 75% response rate, then you will all get up to three "gifts" where instead of revising, I will give you an answer you need to acknowledge. 
+
+
+## Review Questions
+
+
+Why do we need to lock writing to a global variable when threading a program?
+
+- [ ] otherwise all threads will overwrite incorrectly and only the slowest one will be saved
+- [ ] otherwise their start/finish order can impact the calculation
+- [ ] it is the only way for a variable to be shared across threads
+
+
+Why do we use version control?
+
+- [ ] to have a cloud backup of code
+- [ ] it's a legacy tool for undoing changes before IDEs could do it
+- [ ] to be able to separate different versions of code
+
+
+
+
+Why floating point instead of fixed point for fractions ?
+
+- [ ] floating point allows for faster calculations
+- [ ] floating point allows more precise representation
+- [ ] floating point allows for representation of a broader range of values
+
+
+
+
+Label and put in order the following steps:
+
+```
+
+x. **step** binaries for compiled libraries is combined with the compiled program code
+x. **step** code is translated from assembly to machine code
+x. **step** code from includes is copied into the file
+x. **step** code is translated from a high level language to assembly

+## More Practice

+- If you're on track, you can skip the remaining ones
+- if you are not on track: **the remaining three will count for two each, but will be more complex**
