A note on due dates:

All homework from the previous week is due at the beginning of the first class period of the week. For example, when we begin word, we will cover the first chapter in week 2. You will be expected to complete the hands on exercise first, and present it to me in class. This must be done by the Monday class of the next week (week 3). The same is true for the practice exercises. Furthermore, the other mid-level exercises and mini cases for this chapter must be in my mailbox by class time on Monday of week 3. Late work will not be accepted. Please turn in your projects as you complete them.

All projects and homework, no matter what, are due before the test over that subject. It is not likely that I will have time to grade ANYTHING in the few minutes before the test so don't delay submitting work until that time.
