Projects Due Soon ....
One more week remaining - it's "Crunch Time"
I can not reiterate it enough - you MUST BE RESPONSIBLE for your own efforts in a group project. If you choose not to participate, then your grade alone will be reduced. Now its time for you to step-up and make the final effort to ensure success. If you need help just ask - I am always an email away.
