2nd Trimester is here!  Welcome new students and thanks for hanging around current students!

We begin research skills and writing this grading period, so please make sure you are attending class as much as possible.  Because lab time is limited, you will be responsible for doing research on your own time if you miss research and writing days in the lab.  Remember, you need to find sources for your paper and paraphrase, summarize, or quote appropriately.  Plagiarism is BAD!
