Rhet 102

Greetings!

Three points for the Rhetoric class.

1.  We are having poor attendance for the oral presentations.  Remember you will loose 10 points per missed class during these presentations and it will ultimately alter your final grade when I figure in the the points for attitude and participation.  Do not fail this course because you did not show up for your colleagues' presentations.

2.  You can not make up your oral presentation if you miss your day (or did not sign up for a time slot).

3.  Your papers are due on the last day of class.  No exceptions.
