Message to All Classes Regarding Edmodo
It has come to my attention that some students (with the exception of all of 10D) have yet to sign up for Edmodo. This IS NOT OPTIONAL. This is a requirement for the course as outlined on your syllabus. DO NOT give me hard copies assuming that that will ensure your submission for a grade. It does not. If something is required to be submitted on Edmodo but you fail to do so, it is a ZERO no questions asked. I have counted Edmodo signup as a HW assignment on Engrade. If you see a zero by your name, its because you have not signed up. You have until this Thursday October 16, 2014 to sign up. If by this time you have still failed to sign up, I will be making phone calls home.
