Warning: HAVE YOUR LAPTOP FULLY CHARGED

WHEN COMING TO CLASS!

There is a lot of work involving hard drive usage. You are going to chew up your battery power very quickly (wireless antennae are power hogs).  Therefore it is imperative that you come to class with a fully charged battery, or you will risk the possibility of losing your work at the end of class. Recharging outlets are not available in the classroom. This is particularly critical on Test days.
