8:30-12?

There will also be an afternoon period for other classes.

In the summer, you can take one class.

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?
