FRIDAY:

HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow, 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help as needed.

Thanks again for getting to the end of yet another weekly agenda! Taking an "agenda challenge" has never been mandatory but I am happy when you take the initiative to do so. Not only does it confirm that you have checked the agenda but it shows that you are willing to go above and beyond basic expectations, and so I would like to reward those of you who have done so.....

As stated early-on in the year, extra credit can be earned by taking on these challenges...."can" being the operative word. There will be 2 more challenges this quarter, including this one.  Those who have taken a minimum of 3 challenges will earn extra credit. There are a couple of you who are on track to have taken more or even ALL provided challenges.... keep going - I'll think of something extra-extra for you :)

This week's challenge: Access, read, and "sign" the honor pledge found in Quia. Doing this will prepare you for accessing your quiz this week (do you remember your Quia user name/password?) and will save you a few minutes on quiz day!
