Presentation Transcript

  1. Bring your books back!! I am here at 630 in the morning and will be staying until 2:15( at least) every day until Thursday. Even if you forget your book at home, there is time for you to bring it back up.

  2. If you did not receive a notecard Friday, show me your completed study guide to receive one. If you got one on Friday, give it to me with your name on it by the end of the hour.

  3. Announcements I will not bump grades, do not even ask. All this will do is make me mad. It is not ethical to bump your individual grade and not everyone else. Your grade is non negotiable. You earn the grade you earn. It is June 11th. There is no more time left to make up any work you neglected to do throughout the semester. I will not create assignments for you to do to make up points.

  4. Day of the Final -Put your phone on my desk when you come in. This will take away any temptation to look at your phone and risk getting a zero on the final. I will be more forgiving if the phone goes off on my desk. -Bring something to do like study materials for another class or a book. Or you may sleep. I do not want to hear your voice. -If you talk from the time the first exam is out until the last exam is in, you will receive a zero. This is non negotiable. Arguing with me while others take the final will result in you having to go down to tell Mr. Mustafa why you could not follow simple directions and a zero.
