Course Syllabus

Week of May 4-8

I know I said we would have a movie week this week, but at our faculty meeting the principals said this week needs to be a catch-up week.  Therefore, this week is a catch-up week.  I will, however, put a list of movies about Africa you will enjoy in the Africa module later today as an assignment.  If you watch one and write me a paragraph about what happens and what you liked about it, it can replace three assignments from past weeks.  I should have it posted for you by 1pm. 

All work since we started working from home is due by this Thursday, May 7.  I have to input grades no later than Friday, May 8. If you have completed all the work assigned, I will replace points in the first 3 nine weeks to increase your yearly average by up to 5 points to bring you up a letter grade.  If you have any questions, please contact me.  I will have all grades from last week's assignments updated with what I have by 4 this afternoon.  

If you have missing grades in the gradebook now that you have completed, please send me an e-mail or message on Remind so I can update them for you. 

Look below for assignments you may have missed from past weeks.  I miss you!
