Important update for this week!!
Good Morning everyone.
I hope you were all safe during Richard. I know many of you suffered losses material and otherwise. We must all still be grateful for the fact that we are alive.
I am. My family and I was at home when Richard came. I felt that my house was strong enough to withstand a Category one hurricane so I did the normal preparation in terms of food and removing stuff from the floors and place them four feet off the ground. Well That did not work!! The water rose in excess of six feet in my home I found myself holding my younger son up,as he stood on a table that was on my submerged sofa, hoping that help would arrive in time and we would not all die inside my home.
Luckily about twelve help arrived and we were rescued. I lost everything I had in my home and my truck as the yard itself came under about 8 feet of water. I am glad to be alive and I am doing my best to not go crazy. True, it's hard. I do have some good news. The extend of the damage will not affect you and your classes other that my absence today... because luckily your grades were all online...yea as for any outstanding papers well they are all gone so we will need to get a fresh start, but we will discuss that when I return to classes on Monday.
Take care and appreciate life.
Really be all that you can be when you can.. your time is NOW!

Notes for this Week
Well.. I need not tell you what a crazy week it has been.
First there was the Holiday on the 12th..
Then Tropical Storm Paula.. and we all know the mess that caused
Then sadly the provost's mother died and I went to the funeral services
Then came midterm reports and grade verification
and finally Friday...Thank God for every day, and expecially for binging us safly to the end of this crazy, busy week.
But now that the storm has passed...
We need to prepare and get back to schedule:
Math 101
But now that the storm has passed...
We need to prepare and get back to schedule:
Math 101
You all have a copy of the book so now move on and continue chapter three.
Please be sure to prepare as your test is scheduled for Tuesday. Be sure to practice a lot and make sure you prepare well by completing the post test at the end of the chapter.
Realize that if you fail this class you will not be allowed to register for MTH 103 and that will eventually lead up to you having to stay an entire extra year. Can you do that…. If I were you; I would just study now and pass and get out of MTH 101 with the foundation I need. But… you decided.
Wednesday assignment Pretest chapter 4 book practice and online practice.
On Thursday we begin chapter 4
Friday book practice and online practice.
Saturday book practice and online practice.
Sunday book practice and online practice.
Monday book practice and online practice.
In other words each day I want you to do a few problems out of the book and also max out the time on the website practice. It’s for your benefit.
INT 111
The file for chapter 4 has been posted in your various class folders.
Prepare by reading it in its entity. Various assignments will be assigned later. But start to read. Of course needless to say you must research whatever you are unsure of you know that by now.
Also be reminded that by now you should have already created your blog on blogspot.com and have 3 entries for the first week. I will give a grade for the web address 100 if the blog was created and has 3 entries. Zero for anything less than that. So you chose what you want 100% or zero. Help me to help you…Do your part.
Other than that.. next week we proceed with chapter 4 and the test for that chapter will be the following Monday and Tuesday depending on your class day.
Taa Daa that’s all for now.

Update on Lost Phone
I am pleased to announce that I was able to retrieve the lost phone.
See my faith in the goodness of my students was not in vain.
I am glad I decided to hold out and wait for its return and not simply get upset and have the cameras reveal anything; as that would have resulted in the explosion of a student.
I know you are all eager to know who it was. BUT NO! NO! no!
I 'had said I did not want to know as long as the phone was returned
and so that's the end of it.
I keep my word.
Remember that you must always be a man or woman of your words.
It's a quality worth building.
So having said that;
let's put this whole thing behind us and move on.

LOST PHONE
Today in my Math 101-2 Class I took a students phone so that she would not be tempted to use the calculator function.
The class continued and was dismissed normally.
A few minutes the student returned asking for the phone.
Upon checking we realized that it was nowhere to be found.
It is apparent that someone mistakenly picked up the phone instead of a glasses case that was found.
Kindly assist me in locating this phone and returning the glasses case to its rightful owner.
I know that the whole incident was a honest mistake and would like to put an end to this matter.
Please return the phone to me tomorrow as soon as possible so that I may return it to its owner.
I trust that you all will be mature about this matter and not let me have to resort to reviewing camera images as this would result in an incident report having to be filled out and all the consequences that may arise.
Having said that please also respect the privacy of the owner of the phone by not reviewing text or photos remember do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Today her phone is missing tomorrow it may be yours... Do the little you can today to make Belize a better place.
