We've had to play detective to track them down. He believes he ha remedied this situation from happening a- gairs. We're alerting the cows waders of the importance of having lew incomplete . We’re trying to make ure the student finish the work in the time al- lotted. It’s mainly a matter of supervision We won’t let It h:.p- pen again ” The twenty-three year ve- teran of the teaching war is also trying to stem the tide of criti- cism against student generated courses by vome member of li t faculty.
