Binders

If your binder is not in class with you, it is YOUR responsibility to enter the notes/lab/etc. from that day.

It is important that you have everything in your binder as it is your part of your participation grade. Everything that we do will go inside of this binder. (Everything that needs to be in there will ALWAYS be posted in the room and on Google Classroom).
