Final Report Spring 2017
The four reports [values, personality, aptitude and final] are due during your final exam period. Please read the next short paragraph carefully.
During the course of this semester whenever I have covered what I needed to cover in that class period, I stop, I dismiss class and we leave, sometimes a few minutes early. The same thing is going to happen during your final period; all you will be doing is submitting your notes and your four reports. I have no intention of waiting two hours for late guy to show up. I have no idea if many of you are going to show up at all; last week a student showed up I did not recognize him. So I am going to wait no longer than 15 minutes, I am going to dismiss class and leave. Anything turned in after that is late. If your final is at 8 and you think you are going to show up at 9:45 to turn your work in, you get an F in the course.
NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED!!! Please, please, please, for everything good and holy get these papers done immediately and start to print out your notes now. One third of the printers will break when you need them, same with computers, email, and everything else. If you start them early, you give yourself a chance to deal with unforeseen tragedies, illnesses, car malfunctions, your husband pours gas on your kids and lights it, parents with brain tumors, court dates, psychotic breaks, etc. everything. Be smart, protect yourself and get these done.
PLEASE SUBMIT A HARD COPY TO ME – PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME YOUR REPORTS. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have no confidence that my computer is going to live through the semester and I would hate to lose your work because my computer blew up. [the situation has improved, but I still need a hard copy from you].

What kind of ideas do you find yourself thinking about? Are they concerned with day to day living, the past or the future? Do they involve other people or abstract concepts such as justice and peace?
