READ THIS AGENDA CAREFULLY I have reviewed the
contents of this agenda. I will take
responsibility for it, and use it as an essential
scholarly tool. I intend to write all my
assignments in it, and to track my academic
progress toward graduation. I must have the
agenda with me every day and I will not be
released from class without carrying the agenda
with me. I also understand that if this agenda
is lost, damaged or stolen, I must purchase a new
