How to ensure your
success as a student!

Make sure you put your name on your
papers!
Make sure you keep a list of your own
user names and passwords!
Simply make sure you do your work!
The only students who dont pass are
those that basically dont do their
work.

How to ensure your
success as a student!
Check on your grade and check on
what assignments your missing.
Computers are NOT required for
homework, but if you do have one,
make sure your student gets time to
work on classwork and explore what
we are doing in class at home.
