Friday...Amnesty Day...
Today you may take the time to complete any missing work. You must:
1. work independently...the time for collaboration has passed. You are now solely responsible for your assignments.
2. turn the work in by the end of the class period. You've had several weeks to complete the assignments...the fact that you waited until the last minute is your fault. These are the consequences.
3. be sure that your name is on all of your papers. There is some work hanging on the wall that has yet to be claimed.
4. use any time that you have left in class to prepared for the exam. Just like the AP exam it will be comprehensive over all that we have studied AND that you have read in the text. Remember, we are limited in our class time and you MUST keep up with the reading and note-taking from the textbook. Yes, the exam will cover everything from pages 4 - 279.
