3 Days to Go

We completed the Unit II Exam today (as indicated in the gradebook).  It will be analyzed tomorrow in class.  I am going to clear up some confusion or wishful thinking...the quarter final WILL COUNT as an EXAM.  There will be 70-80 multiple choice questions - you will have 50 minutes.  You have had the extra week, so please do not complain.  I am offering a pretty good deal with the B- minimum if you get a 90% for the final.  Do not ask for more, or I'll simply retract my offer and never give another deal throughout the year.  You should know that I do not like whining, complaining, or requests to stretch my offers even further. 

Read.  Learn.  Listen.  Think.  Study.  Know.  Prove it.

If you miss the final exam on Weds, you have to make it up on Thurs.  If you are gone both Weds and Thurs, you have to come in on Friday morning and take it then.  If you do not take it by noon on Friday, you will FAIL THE CLASS - that's how much it is weighted.  The only exception will be for the one or two of you who have EXCUSED absences for roughly a week (you know who you are) - I will give you an INCOMPLETE until you have made up the assessments.

Lastly, many people are still in the FAILURE zone, but only a few have spoken with me.  PLease be aware that there will not be any last-second miracles.  I may be God-like or Devilish in your eyes, but I do not have the power to make you work.  If you fail, accept it and move on, knowing you have to take an ALC course for the REQUIRED CREDIT.  Then start next quarter wth a new emphasis on AP Govt.

    I prefer the wellstonism:

    Mumble.
    Grumble.
    Complain.
    Wallow.
    Hope.
    Despair.
    Worry.

    Vote.

    Over your:

    Read 'em both. Best bet is 7:30 am so you can be in class for the exam analysis. Otherwise, take the test in the hallway during class, but you miss out on the analysis. You have a big final on Weds (for which the analysis might be very helpful). A few others will be there early as well.
