Answers to your chats & emails

Just to answer a few questions I keep getting:

Let me start out with the basic question:
yes you can still pass the course.  It is up to you - you have to do the work, assignments, check in, attendance...whatever the process is once we're told.  As of last Monday, that process is you keeping up with the posted HW, checking the blog 12 times a day and checking into TEAMS during your normal class time & responding to whatever is listed there.  These are super simple grades that will really boost your average.  So yes, passing may be easier than you think but no, not if you don't do anything!

1. No, I don't know how long we'll be closed for.
2. Yes, you still need to pass your course.
3. No, they have NOT canceled the Regents as of this posting.
4. Yes, you have to do your work.
5. Yes, you have to check the blog at least twice a day (morning & then afternoon or evening.)
6. Yes, you need to check into TEAMS & should twice a day especially during your regular class period time.
7. Yes, I'm grading that work.
8. Yes, you may still fail the course if you do nothing while we're home.  A lot of that is based on decisions the school makes regarding online classrooms AND your average up to & including March 12th (from the beginning of the year.)
9. No, I have no other information about how the online classes will work.  For now, I'm posting 1 PPT (or 2 short ones) per day for you to review with the notes you were already assigned.
10. No, no new work has been posted.  At this time, you are not required to do anything in vocab.com except join the class.
11. Yes, you can review the stuff already open in Quizlet.
12. Yes, I will collect HW once we have details about online classes (details to follow when that happens.)  And yes, that includes your notes that have been due daily since we left.

Stay healthy, stay at least 6 feet away from people you don't live with, wash your hands, & don't leave home.  Everything is closed anyway.  And don;t forget the assignments you have due Sunday!

See you on TEAMS Monday morning.
