I. House-keeping/Class-keeping

If you need/want another hardcopy of the syllabus, please ask. Get back in the habit of following your syllabus for each class.
We will be finishing this theme of the course next week. Midterm attendance scores (1/16-3/5) have been input now. The next attendance installment will be at end of course. Folx who fully participate in class get extra credit.

Reminder about CAs (classroom activities): These cannot be redone or receive extension, as indicated on google form, syllabus, etc. You have to make up those points w/ extra credit elsewhere.
Missed Class: If you miss class, always go to website--- funkdafied.org (under "hip hop rhetorics," you will see "classroom cyphers," then look for the date you need). It's advising/dissertation season and I won't have time to answer emails about what you missed in class. The website already shows you.
