Week 15
**As stated in your syllabus and here on this website-->Be aware that ALL assignments are requirements of this class--you must complete all text work, writing assignments, project information, and any other assignments given for the course in order to sit for the final testing in this course. Any incomplete work will result in your not being allowed to take those tests as a result of your lack of preparation, and you will receive a failing grade as a result.**
Readings and Vocabulary :
It's final week and as we make final preparations for your tests this week, follow that sage advice of getting plenty of rest and good food before testing. You need to be at your best on both testing days! Take the time and make the effort!
On Monday, we will do a final review. On Wednesday, we will take the Asset test in class. On Friday, we will go to the computer lab to take the Compass test. Remember that if you want me to email your test scores to you, you need to email me from your DSLCC email account with your request.
Be confident, review those areas in your text that have been a challenge for you, and come rested and ready for your final tests!
Project Information:
Any outstanding submissions for your project (any section) must be to me by Monday afternoon, no later than 1 pm. If I do not have your completed portfolio, with all classwork and project sections, by that time, you will not be allowed to sit for final testing. No exceptions.
