I am making every attempt to reduce the number of sheets of paper distributed in this class and to minimize that number of pages you have to print out. This is being done in the interest of conserving both limited funds and natural resources. It is up to you to read the required material I have posted on-line and to submit the required work ON TIME. If that is not possible you MUST contact me and explain what is happening. Not doing that will result in a grade reduction. It is your responsibility to get in touch with me either via email at edelbach@tcnj.edu or phone at 609-771-2783 if an assignment will be late and tell me when it will be submitted. PLAN AHEAD! Remember, ORGANIZATION is the KEY to life!
