You might be failing if ...
You don't have good standing in just one of these three areas listed on the syllabus:
Final Grade Composition:
25 percent- Class Participation and Discussion
25 percent- Preparation of Mid-term Project
50 percent- Final Project
Projectect participation: Students must work together to produce various audio visual materials on occasion and are expected to participate equally in the group.
A decent or passing grade at mid-term does not mean you are performing at a similar level. The mid-term grade did not take class participation into account. If you have not attended class or did not participate regularly, you greatly reduced your chances to get a good grade. Likewise, that lack of participation and class work may keep you from passing if your final project is "only average."
I have sent emails to all of you concerning your standing going into the final project. If your class participation and mid-term work is lacking and I have not heard back, I can only assume that you don't mind failing this class. This does sadden me.
Any mid-term proposals not received by today, April 18, should signify very little prospect at passing this class.
