"The mind is like a parachute; it only works when it is open!"
Amanda is not sure who said this

4. Work on your lesson plan! 
5.  Important message from Craig:

I was surprised today to find out that there are CUIP WIT participants who think they can get a stipend even though they have not met the requirements for Lane Credit in the program.

No stipends will be awarded unless the participant has "successfully completed" the requirements for WIT as spelled out in the WIT Basic and WIT Advanced Intro Modules.

Also, no stipends will be paid unless CUIP has received complete W-4 and I-9 forms (along with required documentation) by June 21, 2000. Neither CUIP nor the Graham School will take responsibility for tracking your documentation down after WIT ends!!!

You may turn in your W-4 and I-9 forms to me on Friday the 21st. If you bring a photocopy of both sides of your ID (driver's license and social security card or US passport), that will save us all some time and effort.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Today's To Do List
1. Assess your progress frequently.
2. Don't forget...the lab next door is available for your use every afternoon!
