The worksheet is available upon request. Exams must be taken on the specified date. Conferences are not merely for the purpose of dealing with problems you may be having, but if you are having problems it is your responsibility to take the initiative for coming to see me. The end of the course is not a good time to repair continuing problems. Again, take the initiative yourself.
Conferences often help to clear up confusions about the essays.
Please feel free to make use of them to discuss writing issues. Absences and Preparation There should be no absences, except for absolute emergencies. It is always preferable, naturally, that you be thoroughly prepared for class, but never under any circumstances should you stay away because of lack of preparation . This only compounds the problem, both because of missing discussions and lectures and because of not having information and materials to do the work for the following class. Instead of staying away, contact me before the class about your situation.
