Assignment for Monday the 28 of March

1. Last day for extra credit for early journal completion - March 30th. Journals will be accepted until the end of week 15, but early 10 point extra credit is Wednesday.
2. Cornell Method in class assignment is due Wednesday. Fill out the Cornell Method COMPLETELY based on our Civil War video and write a 1 FULL PAGE journal comparing how you used to take notes and how you take them now. Does the Cornell Method work? Does another method that exists in my PPT work for you? Why or why not? Tell me! You can handwrite this.
3. Making Statistics Mean Something quiz online (week 7 and 8 stuff). This is due Monday morning at 6am. This will take you 2-3 hours at least. See the PPT of the same name. Use this to answer the questions seperate from the actual quiz drop box (where you can cut and paste these questions later due to the length of time that this will REALISTICALLY take you). You can't just start answering the questions until you have read THE ENTIRE PPT. E-mail questions early. I will answer until Sunday night at 9am (and I will answer ALL WEEKEND), BUT you might need more time than 2-3 hours (you could need less), but I am expecting college level effort and ability. Spelling and grammar count.
4. Last day to drop this class with a W is March 30th. There could be consequences (financially) if you drop it. If you stay in and you fail, there could be consequences as well (academic probation). Make the wise decision that is informed. I won't do it for you, but I'll tell you where you stand to figure it all out. Midterm grades will be posted by this weekend. If you look Sunday and you don't have 1, then you're passing. I don't list passing grades - just failing ones.
