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!
Beware of ANYONE in Your Life Who Is Holding You Back
Family and Friends Classmates
