Sleeping

Dear Sleeping Undergrad,

First impressions matter and my first impression of you was abysmal.  I saw you fight the battle to stay awake and I saw you lose.  Believe me I have compassion, I too have battled exhaustion and lost.  BUT it wasn't in my first class with someone grading me.  I was willing to forgive a lot.  It was our first class together and I knew that their would be some confusion about expectations.  I was willing to overlook your mistakes; but if you are going to sleep then just stay home.  Now I advise you do this because whether you sleep in my class or at home you will get the same grade: an F.  Sorry but that's how it works.

Sincerely,
Your TA
