Note: In
order to achieve a B without completing any optional assignments,
your performance on the required assignments will have to be
consistently perfect or near perfect. If your target is a better grade, then give
serious thought to what optional assignments you will find
significant and valuable to you and promote your learning about
what it means to be a competent communicator in our present
society. The responsibility for
getting optional assignments in on time is yours.
I will not remind you of nor ask
you for your assignments--you will take the initiative to get
them to me on the dates you promised. Make sure you keep
a copy of your contract and reivew it regularly. I suggest you
mark your assignment due dates on the course calendar.
