The End is Near!!!!!!
We are within one month of Graduation! Some of you need to insure that your average does not depend on the Final Exam. In order to obtain that diploma, a few of you need to spend some time on extra credit. At this time, the word “Procrastinate” is the dirtiest word in the English language. Please see me after class and let’s discuss a few options. Every Wednesday until the test will be used as a review day. You also need to start on the essay portion of the exam ASAP!
