END+NOTE,+June+23

Hola.

Everyone trying to go hard with last minute wiki posts and projects need to understand that if you are waiting for the last minute to try and make up for time you lost (cutting, being absent, sitting in class talking/texting/facebooking, listening to music, coming late, hanging out for hours at the front desk after taking a Regents, etc.), that I will be going equally hard when I grade/check your work. If you spent the year/cycle not doing your work (for whatever reason) and you decided to wait until the last minute, the same effort you're putting into your last minute push is the same effort I'm putting into measuring your work.

Remember, __BS will only get you more BS__. You write one sentence when a paragraph is asked for because you just "want to get the credit" then expect that that sentence will not meet standards. If you attended class and turned work in to me regularly, you know by now what it is that I expect. Please do not waste more of your time. Please do it right the first time and you will have no problems.

In order for a post response to be accepted for credit, the following criteria must be followed:
 * all responses are written in standard English (no "text speak")
 * all responses have capital letters, commas & periods, and appropriate language when necessary
 * all responses address every part of what the post is asking you to do
 * all responses reflect a knowledge of the task (meaning that you read any examples, all the directions, etc. and are doing what is asked of you to the best of your ability)
 * all responses reflect your thinking and wording and DO NOT resemble any other post response

If you feel that these are standards that have not been addressed all year and are unrealistic to hold you to, please feel free to contact me: olympus.english.frank@gmail.com

Thank you. Keep up the good work.
