NOTE: I know that many of you have a rigorous schedule, participate in clubs, sports, and other outside activities. I make every effort to give you only a reasonable amount of work and plenty of advance notice on due dates. Your choice to participate in extra curricular activities is a personal choice. Please understand that I cannot arrange my classroom activities around those personal choices. You are responsible for checking the website regularly and completing the work posted and turning it in on time as is expected of those students who do not participate in outside activities. If this is a problem, please feel free to discuss it with me, but please understand that due to the nature of class my flexibility is limited.
