Remember to put in your shirt order for the faculty adoption. If you didn't do anything for your faculty member, you can get extras on your shirt to makeup for it. Otherwise you will receive a zero if you don't get them anything for each month you did nothing.

Also, your grades are online. Some of you haven't checked your grades yet, and others haven't given me a working email address. If you want to see your grades online, and haven't yet, see me so I can help you access them. This serves as your progress reports so its important that you look.

Continue work on Deadline 1 and 2. Remember you cannot be absent unless there is an emergency. Anyone absent during deadlines suffers a minimum punishment of 1 letter grade off their entire grade for the semester. Sometimes we will have to turn your spread over and do your work for you in which case you will receive a zero.

Remember your Ad Deadline of $250 is due by Dec. 14. $500 ad deadline for guaranteed placement of ads is Jan 11. We may still have room to sell after that point, but we'll have to let you know.

Make sure you fill out the spread checklist. It is very important and I cannot give you a grade for your deadline work if you don't fill out your portion.
