As will sometimes happen in a summer class, one of your classmates, Aheley Cousins, seems to have found herself orphaned and in need a a new group. I vouch for the fact that she is a hard worker and will do what she needs to do to succeed, but the other members of her first group seem to have dropped out of the class. This happens in summer classes--especially online classes, as they are more intense than regular semester classes. If the members of her original group do plan on finishing the semester, they need to get in touch with me ASAP.
If your group adopts her and accepts the extra work load of helping her get caught up, I will add half a letter grade, that's five points, to each group member's final grade. You will get the extra points regardless of wheather Ashley gets caught up or not. If she does get caught up, and you help her succeed in the class, then I will will add 10 full points to your final letter grade. This last is the difference between a "B" and a "C" or an "A" and a "B."
Contact
Ashley Cousins to welcome your new group member. She will make the decision about which group to join, but you should update your group information on the "ENG 111, Class List" google doc, and please email me to let me make a note of the change.
