Some students have emailed us saying that they “haven’t received” a certain worksheet or assignment. Almost without exception, these emails are incorrect. If you can’t find an assignment, be sure to check your email client’s “Spam” folder. In fact, you should all be in a habit of doing so every few days. We are not responsible for assignments that get lost in your Inbox!
If you do search all of your email folders and still cannot find an assignment, be sure to get in touch with either us or your editor BEFORE it is due. If you are somehow still unaware of our deadline schedule, remember that it can always be accessed online at http://www.jstudentboard.com/reporter/spring-2013-deadline-schedule/.
