MONDAY AND TUESDAY:

After completing all of my grading, I am concerned that there are a high number of F grades. All assignments are designed to be completed IN CLASS, with very little homework.

I will be dedicating Monday and Tuesday's class time to meeting with each individual student, creating a personal achievement plan, and opening ALL assignments/assessments.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY:

Congratulations! More than 30 students improved their grades...most not only just to "passing" (D), but to As and Bs as well! Thank you for locking in! Please don't let yourself get into this situation again...this is a LIFE LESSON. If I don't do my job, I get fired. In this class, your grade is your job. Please stay on top of your work because I cannot devote any more class time to getting you caught up. In addition, thank you to the students who have consistently maintained your grades. I SEE YOU and appreciate you. I hope I have been able to connect one-on-one with each of you to thank you personally.
