Debate I - Choice of class emphasis option
Please sign and return this page to your course teacher. You have until November 23 to make this decision.
I have read and understand the policies as outlined for classroom grade option 1 and 2. After consideration, I with the consent of my parents and/or guardians have decided to take Option ________. I further realize that if I do not make a choice, the instructor will automatically assign option 1 to determine my grade. I also realize that this could make a significant difference in my grade.
