ATTENTION!!

I just corrected the last assignments and only about half of the students handed them in!!

There are also a few students who haven't handed in work in several weeks.

BE SURE TO HAND IN ANY MISSING WORK BY WED., NOV. 28th;  I will not accept it after that!

The last two assignments were:
1.Schedule for Spring semester (Selection of classes) and
2.Sentence combining The Col. Sanders Story. word processed.

I will also collect the sentence combining on the beige sheet  (Ex. Mr. X ate too much, so he got indigestion.)  I saw   a lot of blank papers in class with students filling answers.  You don't learn anything that way!!

IMPORTANT - Class Monday, Nov. 5th

Hello Students,
I hope none of you had damage or injuries from Storm Sandy.  Currently, the Cranford Campus is closed.   Springfield Ave. in Cranford is closed also.

If the Cranford Campus has not opened by Monday,  my class is rescheduled for the Elizabeth Campus The Lessner Building (The original building in Elizabeth) on Jersey Ave. Room 224.

Please continue to read the blog and the main page at ucc.edu for more information.

Write up your findings and reactions (questions in career packet)  about the results of your Myers & Briggs Personality survey.

In addition, call any friends in class to make sure they know that there is a current posting on the blog and if you can carpool with them to Elizabeth.

Thanks & good luck with everything!
