There will also be an afternoon period for other classes.
In the summer, you can take one class.
The summer schedule should be coming out soon.
ISSUE WITH THE QUIZ:
Some people copied sentences from somewhere else and handed
them in. I didn’t notice until I had finished most of the quizzes. I wasn’t
looking for cheaters. It dawned on me later after I had seen the same sentence
from several people.
Three or four people got away with it. I don’t have time to
go back and mark everything again.
Consider this a warning. If you copy a sentence and hand it
in for marks, you will get a 0 and a letter in your file. I will not want to
teach you.
I will not give you another warning first. If you cheat on
my test, there will be a serious penalty.
“; however, it looks awful.” My sentence?
