I can't stress this enough, but look at the syllabus frequently.
- 03:45 - 03:47
If you have access to a printer,

that you need to be submitted by.
- 03:53 - 03:57
And that brings me to my second topic. Keep track of due dates.

Due dates are very, very important and Mr and Mrs um profit

submit assignments and exams on time.
- 04:13 - 04:17
Just like I said, she does not accept late work and no extra credit.
- 04:18 - 04:21
Come to class every day on time.
- 04:21 - 04:23
Do not be late
- 04:24 - 04:24
participate.
- 04:26 - 04:28
Read each chapter from the textbook
- 04:29 - 04:30
because obviously you're going to need to read the
- 04:30 - 04:33
material before we start lecturing about it in class.
- 04:34 - 04:34
Also
- 04:35 - 04:37
do not forget mine tap.
- 04:38 - 04:41
My tap is very, very important when it comes to your grade.

it and you can get the uh do these cool things called you decide which is basically um
