  • We will lock the doors and cover the widows

• Overview of MR W's teaching methods.

  • No extra credit
  • No graded curves

  • There is a feature in the gradebook that allows me to drop your least performing score in the gradebook-- I have no control over that at all as to which assignment gets dropped.
