Classroom Decorum Presentation
It is essential
that you keep a copy of all of your assignments. Once an assignment is
graded and entered in Grade Source it is deleted from my computer. If
there is a question about any grade you will need to re-submit your
work.
We are no longer using the publisher's site
for testing. GradeSource. Grades, testing, and e-mail is now available
at http://lms.shastacollege.edu.
You may have received an e-mail from the college explaining how to log
in. We will go over this in detail in class.
