Upon getting a couple of emails I thought to myself “goodness what have I done wrong?” and then the more I thought about the question…What is it that you could have done differently? Became the question that needed to be answered.

I did my best to address your needs. I gave you every option under the sun to turn in an assignment. I created assignments that would allow you to earn additional points.

So now I ask you, did you make an attempt to turn in late work?, stay after school and get extra help with me?, did you study for a test or the final?, or do any additional assignments?

An email is not effective way to gain points. Nor is begging or threating.

Please read these articles and perhaps you may have a clearer insight into what you should have done before the class ended. FYI the weight of the final does not wreck your grade, but not studying, and not being on task may have.
