- Homework! I give homework for three reasons: for practice, for review, and to practice being responsible. Please know that homework is required. Although I don't assign much, I do expect it to be done and turned in on time. When it is graded it counts as much as any classwork assignment. Several students have actually told me that they would prefer to get a 0 than do the assignment.
- Thanks to those who sent in cupcakes, drinks, and other smacks last Thursday! I think students did enjoy the day, even without a party.
