PARENTS – Every nine weeks, students are required to turn in 5 current events. They will be given instructions on how the current event would have to be done in order to be accepted and given cut off takes for each current event. I need to do this because most students elected to wait until the last day to turn in their current event the last nine weeks. As per the syllabus, this will account for 50% of the participation grade, which it 10% of the overall grade. The cutoff dates are as follows:
January 15 – Current Event # 1 (Past Due)
January 22 – Current Event #2 (Past Due)
January 29 – Current Event #3 (Past Due)
February 5 – Current Event # 4 (Past Due)
February 19 – Current Event # 5
Some Student have already turned in current events for this nine weeks. A student may turn in current events early and may turn in all five prior to January 15th. Thank you for your continued help and support.
