DROPS AND NC'S

NC's are not given by this instructor.  To avoid receiving an F when your grade is 59% or below, the student must drop the class by the appropriate date in the semester (check the catalog).  This instructor will not drop you after the third week of class, it is the responsibility of the student.  Instructor consultation may help the process.  Come and see me before the problem gets to this point.
