Updated 08/20/09 NEW ASSIGNMENT: You have two(2) assignments due on Tuesday/Wednesday August 25/26 2009. The first is to read and discuss with your parents the two articles on the Computer Skills Handouts page titled "Flip-flops Are Bad' and "Good Sleep Wakes Up Memory". After reading and discussing the articles with your parents they need to send me either a note brought by you or an email sent with the proper subject line (see below). The second assignment is to give me the information about a computer you use. The required information is listed starting on page 12 of the "Introductory Slide Show Outline". Following that are suggestions for finding the information about your computer. To make this easier: My e-mail is jptesta@att.net; Your subject line should read: B3, 'assignment title', 'your name' You should also discuss the course syllabus with your parents and bring me any questions they may have about the course. FROM 08/20/09 Dr. Testa doesn't like flip-flops as a shoe. It isn't a shoe. It is a convenience targeted at beach and pool-side use. There are reasons I don?t like them. These include safety and health. In the area of health, I have made an assignment for you so you understand one of the reasons why I think flip-flops should not be worn at school. You will receive an article on flip-flops the first part of this week. You are to take it home and share it with your parents. You complete the assignment by having your parents send me a note that you have discussed the article.
