Super Important: I will only open email which comes to me with the section # of your class, your name as it appears in PAR, and the topic of the email entered on the subject line. A few sample subject lines might read:
70018, Fred Rogers, request for exhib. review information.
70018, Johnny Cash, my test is frozen
71089, Maurice Gibb, photos for extra credit.
71089, Buddy Ebsen, my attendance.
If your email subject line is different than the ones above your email will be sorted to the trash can. Sorry, but I get so much spam, that I no longer have the time to sort through all my email. Do not email me for a quick response, as I only check student email on Monday and Thursday.
DUE DATES: All due dates are posted below. Staple your work. No plastic covers, please. Make sure your name and class number as well as the title of the assignment appear on each page you submit.

You are responsible for getting your work in on time. No mechanical excuses accepted.
Students should drop themselves on the occasion of the second missed assignment.
