Monday, November 23rd:
* Well I'll be a son-of-a-gun... the Spartans pulled it off. And it appears as though ol' MSU gained some bandwagon fans Saturday night. Per Dr. Hartnell's promise, your Unit #3 Blue Book scheduled for today is now OPTIONAL and TAKE-HOME! That's right... if you're happy with your current grade, you don't have to submit a Blue Book at all. If you elect to do this, your Blue Book score will be appear in Power School as "Exempt" and neither help nor harm your grade. If you decide to roll the dice and attempt the take-home exam, you will need to select a question, write your answer in a Blue Book, and submit it at the start of your class TOMORROW. This test will then be graded like any standard Blue Book... meaning you aren't guaranteed to waltz out of there with an "A+". As such, please think through your decision. If you've studied hard and completed outlines and practice essays, then you should score well. If you've done little in the way of preparing for this unit's Blue Book... then you should personally thank Sparty the next time you see him.
