ENG 3U1/A-04 Semester 1

June 28th, 2011

Welcome to the course.

You will find handouts and other assortments of fun here. Be sure to check it out if you are absent from class or if you lose any handouts over the semester.

If you are absent during a quiz or test (or because of an absence, you do poorly on a test), it is expected that you do the test after school at English Help in Room 201  on the Wednesday immediately following the absence.

Generally every two weeks on a Friday (sometimes Thursday or Monday)  we will have an open book Summative Quiz/Test. You will be graded ZERO if you are absent for this without a good reason.

See you in class.
