READING QUIZDo your best to answer each question

fully. Remember, the point of the quiz is to show me you read and understood the

chapter. Please, absolutely no talking.

Monday, November 3 is the last day to drop without a letter

penalty! Three different students I see in the class:

Embraced the idea from the beginning Didn’t buy in at first, but somewhere along the

way, bought into the mentality of the class Still don’t buy into it

If you don’t buy into the class, why are you still here? This is not a class you can skate by in! Only you know what you’ve put in!

You must buy in to continue!
