*     Activity logs are to be submitted weekly via email.  The log is mandatory.  The log is simply a small email listing what you did in IMT 150 for the previous week and the amount of time spent working on class assignments.  If you did nothing, simply put that in the email (there is no penalty for telling the truth).  Activity logs are due no later than Sunday for the week in Question and should be submitted after you have completed the assignments for the week.  Late log emails will NOT be accepted.

**   Notice that the two exams contribute 70% to your final grade in this class.  You should spend sufficient time to prepare for each exam.  On the other hand, if you don’t do class assignments well, you cannot assume you will get high scores on the exams.
