A Note to the Students: Success in this course depends on you!  If you come to class ready to learn, do your required work and have a positive attitude, you will do well.  If at any time you need help, need something re-explained or are having a problem, do not hesitate to ask or e-mail, that is why I am here.  We can all learn from your questions!! You will have a very hard time being successful in the class and on the EOC exam if you do not put the personal effort into the class.
