To All of My Classes:
All classes are working on Review Sheets for the Final Exam.
We are reviewing these problems during class.-This important test will count 25% of your final grade. All questions from the Review Sheets will be on the Final.
Binders are due the day of the final exam, and will be counted 100 points.
Also, please bring your textbooks to class on Monday or Tuesday.
For those of you who read my daily blogs and tried the extra credit problems, thank you for giving me the motivation to continue writing each day.
