- Do it right the first time!
- Take advantage of the 1 period a week we give you to work in Edgenuity at school.
- If you are absent on a Tuesday, plan on working at least 45 minutes from home to catch up.
- It's a good idea to work ahead in this course from home. Make some time for this class each day. (15 mins) Do not procrastinate!
- If you have questions, ask your teacher. Don't get behind because you didn't ask questions.
