Final Exam

Welcome to your final examination. As with previous assignments, below are a range of options for you to choose between. We will only be grading the first 60 points worth of work you complete - you can do more options for fun if you like but you won't be able to earn additional points for them.

Send all work in one email to holherbologyhomework@gmail.com with the subject line "Herbology - Final - Hol Name". For example, if I was submitting, my subject line would read: Herbology - Final -Sky Alton. Please remember to also put your Hol Name and House at the top of the email!

No attachments will be opened - that includes Google Drive links and similar. If you submit an image as part of your assignment, please upload it to an image hosting website and send the link.
