To date, in May out of a total 12 classes, you have had 5 full work periods. You have also had time at the end of class to complete work. Work that you do not complete in class is expected to be completed for homework. It is essential that you use the time in class to work on the designated task.
If you know you have other commitments and have been using class time to work you need to take responsibility and talk to me prior to an assignment due date to ask for an extension.
Class discussions rely on you. If questions and content is not taken seriously a valuable discussion can not happen. Please participate in class and be respectful of other opinions and contributions.
